Sir       I am favoured with your letters of the 18th & 25th inst. & observe that the Bishop of Durham is of Opinion that the Sum offer’d by Sir Thos. Blackett is not adequate to the Situation of the Person whose life he would exchange; I must beg leave to differ with his Lordship in this Point, knowing the Cause of Thos. Hepples Complaints to you & being well acquainted with his Constitution for some Years, he having been formerly much worse than he is at present. 

                                                                          I am etc    J. E. Blackett
