Sir

What you said when I was at Hexham, about the disagreeable Situation you would be in when the new office was finished, and the records removed thither; by reason of Mr Heron’s making it an Office for his private as well as public business; induced me to mention it to Sir Walter this morning, & he bids me acquaint you that you need not be uneasy – that he intends you at least your present salary - & that he will speak to you about it when he comes to Hexham. I am etc  HR
