To John Airey Esqr Ravensworth Castle Feb’ry 8 1746/47
Sir
It is proposed to make a Turnpike Road from a place called Buckton Burn to Berwick &c and to have this Joyn’d to the Northumberland Turnpike, & as we apprehend the Colliery at Scremerston will be very much hurt by it, we have wrote to Mr Corbett to have a Clause incerted to exempt all Coales which shall be deliver’d from that Colliery to Berwick or else where from the payment of Toll. The inclosed is a Coppy of what we have wrote to Mr Corbett to which we referr, & have only to add that we desire you will on recet. hereof apply to the Members who have the Conduct of the Northumberland Bill, to give no Countenance to the other, & that you will also prepare a proper Clause to be incerted in Case you cannot gett the Affair stop’d We hope your health will permitt you to give this Affair dispatch & wish verry much to hear of your perfect recovery being
Sir yours etc
Nichos. Walton Hugh Boag
