I desire you’ll engage John Jackson to supply the place of Joshua Elliott being satisfied Sir John Turner will approve of this. I think it necessary to direct you to let Wm Brown and Frank Robinson know that we think their applications were very improper ones as we do not chuse to employ their children as labourers at Langley Mill.
As Willm. Armstrong has thought proper at last to make an appology I most readily forgive him on condition of he and his family taking care for the future not to offend & I will not mention the matter to <..>. But I must request further that they prevent others as much as they can from committing such Trespasses for the Time to come as I had reason to complain of. I am for Self and Sir John Turner
Your Humble Servants
