Sir       

      The Commissioners for the Turnpike or Military Way between Newcastle and Carlisle, for the County of Northumberland have desired to acquaint you that the Road now making is extending towards Throckley Estate through which it is to pass.  They are now entering into the Estate of the Earl of Northumberland, who has consented they shall pass through his Lands without making any other satisfaction than paying the Tenants for spoil of Ground; and they hope the Commissioners of the Hospital will grant them the same liberty to pass through Throckley Estate, on such Terms as shall appear reasonable to the Board.  You will be pleased to lay this before the Board and give us such directions therein as is thought proper.  We are 

      Yours etc   W & B
