To Mr Thomas Hugall                                                          Newcas[tle] 8th June 1764

Attorney at Law in Durham



Sir           Your favour of the 6th inst[an]t I communicated to Sir Walter Blackett and he bid me mention to you that Sir John Eden proposed being at His Seat near Durham in 3 or 4 Days.
