       We have reced your Letter of the 18 inst and would have you lay by the Folly Wood uncut up and if any opportunity offers of Selling it either together or in parcels you will be so good as make the best bargain you can, it certainly ought to be worth 15 or 18d P Foot but if you cannot get that, you may sell it for what you can get.

       It gives us pleasure to hear of your having such a good progress during the Hexham Race Week.

       Pray forward the inclosed to Mr Hilton the first convenient opportunity.         

       We are Your hble Servts
