Sr

      Am very sorry I should trouble you so often about the Ballance of my Acct which I take to be £325.6.3½ you may be assured I would not have [d…] it but that I was Engaged to pay a condserable sum of Money at London upon putting my Youngest son into the World, and Return’d all the money Except the Ballance w[hi]ch I did positively Rely on, so was forc’d to desire my Bro. Bridges to lay down that sum for me, w[hi]ch I had rather have paid double Intrest for the money than have had that obligation to him, pray fail not to send me by the very first post a bill for £125.6.3½  and pray as soon as possibly you can send me bills for the Remainder & you’ll very much oblige

      Sr your very humble Servt



Mr Alderman Fenwick Newca[stle]
