Mr Mulcaster Farnacres 23d Janury 1781
We approve of your having set Joe Bell of Pytrune to the Ore Hearth & shall be glad to hear he goes in and behaves well. As to Dunwoodie we beg he may be left to himself; we wished to continue to employ him, and for that purpose, meant to have him so far relieved of his complaint as that he might be enabled to work for us. If he continues in our service, expecting to become unserviceable to intitle him to our further favors, it seems going not a little too farr. What we mean us to have an application called a Truss to prevent his complaint coming on. We shal not trouble ourselves further on this Subject if he shd still be averse to try the Infirmary & we wd not by any means have him come without it is quite with his Will. We hear there is a Box with Silver arrived at Newcastle. We are sorry the Reducing Business still continues so bad and growing worse and this plainly shows how necessary it is that we shd have a consultation & we shall be glad of yr Brothers Assistance when you come here on Saturday & therefore hope his busyness at Blaydon will admit of his being here when you are. We had heard of your Brother James having given up his place at Nenthead Mill before you mentioned it in yrs of the 20th inst.
We are Your Humble Servants
Walton & Turner
PS. When your Brother James was here we had a great deal of talk wth him about his Law Suit & from an Opinion which Mr Walton has seen and which he has sent to Mr Wordsworth it seems yr Brother is quite clear.
