Mr. John Holmes						Farnacres 27th May 1783



Dear Sir

      Mr. Donkin a Gentleman who came to London on Account of Hexham Bridge has I doubt not delivered to you my Fathers Watch which he desires you will examine & repair and that you will apply to Mr. Willm. Cook of Heddon Street Westminster when it is finished who will pay for it and send it down by some careful person. Perhaps a Cake of Bullion may be sent next Week but I cannot be certain as to that yet. I beg to be remembered to my Brother Smeaton if still in Town. I am 

      Dear Sir Your most Hble Servt.

      Nich. Walton Junr.



PS. My Father wishes to have his Watch finished with all convenient dispatch.
