Mr Mulcaster

       We have reced yours of the 30th Ulto and duly observe its Contents.  We are glad you got well home after your difficult traveling and that you have got all to work again as we are to hear that no harm has been done by the sudden Thaw.   As soon as John Dixon has been tried we should be glad to hear from you as to the Produce in the Reducing way.  We inclose a Recommendation for Wm Dunwoodie and he must come down to Newcastle so as to be enabled to go to the Infirmary next Thursday Morning against Eleven o'Clock or the following Thursday Morning agt 11o' Clock and he must take the inclosed Recommendation along with him.  You can describe to him where the Infirmary is and anybody will tell him where it is after he gets to Newcastle.   We have heard from Mr Bell that he has reced the Lease of Old Carrs and have wrote to Mr Harvey to deliver the Remainder of the Wood and Deals to James Johnson.  Your Proposition contained in yr Letter of the 23th Ulto shall be attended to the first opportunity.

       We are	Your Humble Servants

      Walton and Turner
