Newcastle 9th Septem. 1797
Sir
I wrote to you the 6 th inst. to which I beg leave to refer you, since that time Mr. C. Blackett called & informed me that his friends would accept of his Offer of 10,000 Ps Lead & 5,000 ps Slag instead of 1,000. Mr. Fishwick called him on Monday and told me they expected to have the 10,000 Ps Lead for their London house according to your Offer I told him I could say nothing to that, but when you came home he might talk to you on the subject. - Mr. Brandling still continues better & the Faculty say they hope he will be able to get home in the course of next week.
I am Sir Your most Obed. Hble Servt.
