To Matt. Bell Esqr. Junr.				Farnacres 23rd. March 1776



Dear Sir

	As the Work at Langley Mill is at present much in want of a proper person to be employed in Reducing Litharge into Lead, an operation which the Bearer has been used to, I am confident you will oblige the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital by permitting him imediately to leave your service as a Skipper and enter into the Service of the Hospital and you will by that means also oblige Mr. Smeaton and myself.   I am with best wishes to yourself & Family Dear Sir &c

      N.W. Junr.



P.s Our present want is occasioned by a Person who we have had for some Time failing by reason of age and Sickness, and we must depend on you for relief
