To Richd. Wilson Esq. at Leeds

26 Oct 1756

Sir

I rec[eiv]ed your Lre of the 23rd & agreable thereto waited this morning on Mr Ord of Fenham who says he must have £1000 in Cash but will take Bank Notes for the remainder. I doubt it will be very difficult to get £1000 here at this time for either Bills or Bank Notes, for here has been a great want of money for some time. Your Leeds Gents. take away all the Excise, & as our Collector is now upon the Round, I apprehend they have engaged all his money. But I will make Enquiry in the Town, & if I find money can be got at the time you want it, will let you know.    I am etc    JR
