W. Harvey
Mr Ions Farnacres 1st March 1782.
Above you have an exact Copy of a Letter wch. I have received from Mr. Harvey and I think it necessary to acquaint you that if you do not immediately come down to Newburn and deliver to Scott and Alnwick 500 pieces of Lead I will myself go with a proper authority and take the whole & I give you this Notice that I shall directly give orders to Messrs. Mulcaster that no more Lead shall be delivd. for Newburn ‘till this matter is settled and all the Lead now there brought to our Warehouse. I am sorry you compel me to be harsh with you. I wished to serve you, you are determined I shall not so find. When you come to Newburn I expect to see you & beg you will not lose a moment in setting this matter right. Youll observe that it is insisted upon your Men carry the Lead into the Warehouse.
I am Your &c
Nichs Walton Junr.
The first part of the letter is a copy of a letter from Mr. Harvey to Nicholas Walton. Mr. Harvey was the warehouse manager or agent for Greenwich Hospital at their lead warehouse in Newcastle.
