To Mr Edwd.Roberts Attorney at Law at Hexham

Newcastle 13 June 1755

Sir

Your Lre of this date surprises me much, for two days after Mr Johnson was here I rec[eive]d a Lre from Mr Armstrong inclosing Copy of a Tack note wch he says he has granted to you Mr Heron, Edwd.Fairless, Wm.Harrison, Geo.Robison & Mary Sams at 25s a bing, wch terms he also says he offered first to Mr Johnson, but he refused to accept thereof, so that I cannot tell what to say to it further; than if you cannot settle the matter among yourselves, you must lay it before Sir Walter for his determination.

PS If Mr Johnson has not comunicated his discovery to Mr heron or some others of the above persons, how could they know the place?  It is all a Mistery to me.  I am etc  JR
