       We desire for the future you grant no Licences for Limestones to any but those  that make use of Scremerston Coales  Unless it shall appear us to be a very Unreasonable thing we desire of them that you will lay your Comands on the Tenants to take their Coales there also.  We shall be glad of a line from you if can give any reason for leaving the Colliery.   We are

       Sir Your Hble Servt
