Letter – Walter Blackett to John Erasmus Blackett – 23 Nov 1776
London Sat: 23d Novr. 1776
Dear Sr.
This morning Mr. Darwin brought the deeds which I signed, & I readily agree to accommodate Mr. Swinburne with the thousand pounds you mention. I am very sorry for the behaviour of the Lessees of Walker Colliery, certainly those proceedings are to be laid to the charge of the Principal, as well as leaving coals in waggons which carry more coals than by the lease they ought to do, indeed the character of the magistrates is very much at stake
