Letters – Joseph Richmond to William Ord – 27 Nov 1756

To Willm. Ord Esq at Fenham

Saturday Even[in]g 27 Nov 1756

Sir

I rec[eiv]ed a bill by last post f[ro]m Mr Wilson for £92.17.6 w[i]th orders to pay the money to you 7 take a rec[eip]t for the full sum of 2500.12.7 as mentioned in the L[or]d Chief Baron's Lre of Attorney, it appearing that the £92.17.6 is deducted in the Master's Report; But as I sent the Lre of Attorney with your Receipt for £2407.15.1 to London last tuesday by Mr Wilsons directions, I do not know what is most proper to be done until we hear further for I presume the Lre of Attorney will be returned to take another receipt at the foot of it; therefore if it is agreable to [sic – ‘you’ missing] I think I think it may be as well to postpone paying the money for 2 or 3 posts; if not I will receive it of Mr Brewster, who I desire to leave it with his son, & wait upon you with it.    I am etc    JR

PS  I return you Mr Wilson's letter
