Quelch or Order & I have rec[eiv]ed of Mr Wm. Robson £87.13.3, both which sums are placed to yo[u]r acct. & by my Books will make the ballance £31.12.9 in your Favour. I am glad you have got the money for Edward Harrisons bond & expect the £1018 so soon, which if it had been left in your hand would have helpd me to make the Lead mine pays. My son was at Berwick last week, when Mr Jeffreys &c paid him the last years Rent for the Colliery, both for Sir Walters share & Mt Lisles - they make heavy Complaints of Mr Rob. Lisles hard usage of them, by sending for writs against without ever demanding the money. The award they argue is too partial & what they cannot be obliged to pay, but they are ready as they say, to pay the £500 penalty of the Arbitration bonds which they are advised is all that can be recovered of them, that Mr Lisle is wrong in declaring upon the award, & therefore they expect wee will be nonsuited at the Assizes, nay they say they are sure of it. I am etc JR
