To Mr Chris.Denton Greys Inn London

Newcastle 11 April 1755

Dr Sir

	Inclosed are two bills (as above) for four hundred pounds, wch I desire you will place to my acct & advise the receipt of. I shall be obliged to draw on you in a little time for this money payable to Messrs Lascelles, when I can meet with bills to make up the last 2 y[ea]rs int[ere]st, but these bills grow & near due makes me give you the trouble of them.

	The Hoppers go on so far as briskly as ever; but as the Corporation will very speedily proceed against the Masters, that employ them, according to the advice of their Council, I hope a stop will by degrees be put to their Carreer.  I am Dr Sr Yr etc  JR
