To Mr Richd. Harrison at Coalcleugh

Newcastle 16 Aug 1757

Sir

Mr Ord has asked Sr. Walter leave to work some stones in the quarry where you discharged his workmen, wch you did right in. So you are not to give them any further obstruction. I have rec-eive]d yo[u]r Lre wth the plan, wch is very neatly done. But I think the surveyor has drawn Mr Ords claim further than he makes it himself for he has drawn it to a well at Powstile house but there is a well wch goes by that name nearer Milstonedike nook, wch I apprehend is all Mr Whitfield ever claimed to. The Old witness you have sent me is a very material one. We must have him in tho. we send a chair for him. Mr Walton tells me he has now some very good Elm for pumps & that he has ordered a p[er]son to chuse such pieces as are fit for your purpose.  I am etc   JR
