								Unthank 24 Jany. 1779

Dear Madm.

      I was in hope of hearing from your Son but since have been told Mr. Angus prevented it for reason best known to himself. 

      I have not been able to get into Hexhamshire this some months, but have been told the Ingen [engine] has been standing some time. You will be so good as let me know Mr. Bakers resolution wch. shall esteem a favour. The Ingen standing still will hurt him more ways than common use.

      I hope you and your Son are both well. I wish you and him a succession of happy years.

      Believe me Dr. Madm. Your Ever Obed. Servt.

      Jno Westgarth



Mrs. Baker
