      We have recd. your Letter of the 9th. & Two Letters of the 11th. Instant and shall order you a Quarter Barrel of Gunpowder to come by James Johnson tomorrow.

      On considering the Matter as to Robson we think it will be right to set him to work again and desire he may be employed as usual and as if nothing had passed & hope there will not be any ill blood between him & James Johnson and desire you will tell them both that we expect it; at the same time we think it necessary that you shd. acquaint Robson we did not receive the information from James Johnson in consequence of which he, Robson, was discharged & that we have not the least malevolence or ill will to him but wish to have the Carriers behave properly to one another.

      Thomas Temperley it is desired may let Thos. Coats have the Coals, only desire that he will speak to Mr. Thornton to look to it that Coats makes the proper use of the indulgence & as to the payment we shall take that upon ourselves so far as it related to Thos. Temperley & we approve of his conduct upon this occasion.

      It is desired that you will get & send us the Vauce and Loaning foot Plan along with the Plan of Harsondale Sillywray and Plankey Pasture Farms and also the Plan of the Lough Farm. Only suit yourselves and determine what you wd. have and at what Rent please and we will make no difficulty in having you accommodated either with or without the Housing & let us know what <offering> will be made and how much that will cost. We are

      Your Humble Servants
