To Mr Chr. Denton Greys Inn London

Newcastle 6 June 1758

Dr Sir

	I have rec[eive]d y[ou]rs of the 3d inclosing Ladt Blacketts receipt for £200 wch is placed to your acct.

	If the Stotts apply for a comis[sion], this Term & Sr.Wr. join therein Mr Coll.Forster & Mr Wm.Gibson wo[ul]d do very well for Comis[sione]rs but I conclude Mr C.Forster  will be struck out if L[or]d North[umber]land can do it therefore you sho[ul]d think of two more of the ablest hands in the country. I am of opinion Lawyer Rudd sh[oul]d be one & Mr Henry Wilkinson or Mr Wm.Lowes if Sr.Wr. approve of him are the fittest persons I can think of - Mr Fawcet I imagine will be appointed by Lady Windsor; If you fix on Mr Rudd he sho[ul]d be imediately be wrote to. & if they let Mr Forster stand, who is to be Sr. Wrs Sollicitor   I am etc  JR
