To Mr Denton                        Newcastle 24 April 1731

Sir,

      I have reced yours of the 13th inst. with Mr. Allgoods bill on me for Eighty pounds, I here inclose Crabtree the Carriers note for that sum which please to acknowledge the receipt of, the seven pounds ten shillings are still in my hands, but was not in any mind when I delivered the Carrier this money.

      Mr Allgood writes me that Mr Clark says the £200 bill on Cook d[ate]d the 26 November 1728, which I sent Mr Clark that same day to London, is part of the £900 I paid him in Newcastle the 31 October 1728, which I hope he’s now satisfyd, is a mistake, & that I do not charge him at all with that bill, if the matter is clea[red] up to his satisfaction pray return me the Bill to prevent any future mistake about it.

      I should be oblig’d to you for an account how matters are settled ab[ou]t Kenton, which I am still a strainger to and have various Reports still about that affair,  I am  &c JR



Received of Joseph Richmond the sum of Eighty pounds which I hereby promise to pay to Mr Christopher Denton No 8 in Grays Inn, on the 8 day of May next at the White Horse in Cripplgate London on his delivering me up this note & paying me Eight shillings for the Carriage thereof, As Witness my hand this 23rd day of April 1731
