Dear Sir,
As most of the Claims which were objected to at the Hexhamshire and Allendale third Meeting have been persisted in, if not the whole, it sh[oul]d be considered what ought to be done and as you will I presume be at the Sessions at Newcastle I desire you will be so good as make

Mr Ruddock Farnacres 8 Janu[ar]y 1794
Dear Sir
I am very glad you have intimated to Mr Heron the having retained Council. It was early enough. Mr Heron cannot be seriously offended by our doing what we thought the best thing that co[ul]d be done and in which I am satisfied we did what was proper. He will I suppose of course have the conduct of such of the Suits as do not relate to the Lord & Lady of the Manors Claim as to Westburnhope. That however sh[oul]d be well consid

Letter – Joseph Carr to John Bell – 15 Jan 1794
Sir
At the request of Mr Forster, I am desired to inform you, why Joseph Watson my late assistant was dismissed. It was solely for inattention.
One reason chiefly for such conduct was the anxiety he felt, for losing his place when I came here, as he then was sole master, being made to believe, that I wanted his place. My mortification at getting is, was equal to his losing it.
I wish you could get the remaining arrear of Rent from Kirsopp which is £1.4s.- I suppose it may be recovere
