Dear Sir, 

       By the Mail Coach which will set out from Newcastle tomorrow you will receive a Box containing two Parcels one for Mr Stephen John Maule and another for Mr Cook at Lady Ravensworths. They will be called for and you will be so obliging as give directions that they may be delivered when sent for. The Parcel for Mr Cook contains the Skin of a White Fox which is to be delivered to a Furrier to be dressed. If you know of a Person skilled in that way be so good as recommend him to Mr Cook.

       You will I expect receive a Box of Bullion by this Weeks Carrier but I don’t yet know the Weight. My best Compliments pray to Messrs Maule & Cook and with the Compliments of the Season to you and yours & Bro. Smeaton

       I am Dear Sir, Your very Humble Servant

       Nicholas Walton Junr.
