Sir          

      An Infirmary is now establishing at Newcastle for entertaining infirm People of the Town and two adjacent Counties of Durham and Northumberland, and most of the Gentlemen of Great Estates in both Counties are subscribing to it, by which the Poor of those Estates will have a benefit.  We have been applied to on this occasion for a Subscription from the Derwentwater Estate and would be glad to know if you think the Board will encourage it.  We apprehend a Subscription of £10.10. per Annum would be agreeable.   We are      

      Sir       Your most obliged hble. Servts.

      Nichos. Walton    Hugh Boag
