To Mr Wm. Jeffreys Attorney at Law in Berwick

Newcastle 4 Nov 1757

Sir

I find Mr Robson has rec[eiv]ed the last  1/2 years rent for the Coll[ie]ry due 12 Sept. last. I wish you had thought it proiper to pay the money awarded to Mr Ord without all this trouble & expence, wch I presume you will be obliged to do at last. Sr. Wr. Blackett says he does not know that he ever express's himself with any particular resentment ag[ain]st you. But he thinks he & Mr Lisle have great reason to complain of ill usage in this affair. I do not know what Mr Brown might tell you passed at the Assizes. I wish you had been present & heard all that passed.    I am etc   JR

[Marginal note] NB  this [letter] was not sent, but alter'd as on the next page & sent with Mr Lisles approbation.  [see letter of 5 Nov 1757 - Ed.]
