Dear Sir

I am favoured with yours of the 12th & apprehend that the account which you intend to send will answer our present purpose. The Language of the letter inclosed in yours is that of Trade in General I believe, & we must submit to the effect – I understand Silver is lower now than the price Mr Beaumonts was sold for & in respect to Lead you are the best judge whether it will be right to sell to Messrs Walker upon the credit they wish for – I am sorry to hear your indisposition continues, I shall hope to find you better the beginning of next month when I intend to have the pleasure of being at Newcastle.

I shall be obliged by your letting me have the acct. before then & am

Dr. Sir Yr. most Obt. Serv.

M Skelton



Mr Blackett
