Mr Probert.                                                     Farnacres near Gateshead 11 May 1781 



       Having been from home for some time we have been prevented desiring M Holmes to pay you for the two last 50 Casks of Bone Ashes.   The first 50 we never had any advice of from you which we think very wrong, but for the last 50 we had advice from you by Letter & Bill of Parcels of the 4th April. We shall be glad to have the Order compleated as soon as possible & will then determine whether we are to have any more this Season or not.

       We are Yr  Hble Servts 

       Walton & Turner 



PS. You are desired to call upon Mr Holmes the first opportunity.

When you write next let us have a Bill of Parcels for the 50 Casks of Bone Ashes sent on Board the Success.
