To John Fenwick Esq at Roberts Place near Brotham Barr York Newcastle 13th Nov 1759 Sir Inclosed you receive my bill on Plumbe and Brown for 37.0.0 and Mr Douglas's rec[iep]t for 3.0.0 pd him by your order; wch makes up your half years in[tere]st on Sir Walter Blacketts bond due 12th inst; wch I desire you advise the rect of by the return of the post as the bill is at so short a date, and mention that it is in full for that ½ yrs intr[es]t. The principal money will be ready for you the 12th May tho Sir Wr wo[ul]d have kept it longer if you had not called it in, and I think it cannot be better secured than where it is, as you have yr interest punctually paid as it becomes due, wch perhaps may not be the case when you change hands When the money is paid the assignment of the bond to Mr Ward must be cancelled and he must join with you in signing the sect. on the back of the Bond to prevent any dispute that might otherwise possibly happen, so you will take care to prepare Mr Ward that there may be no stop on that acc[ou]nt I do not certainly know whether Sir Wr might not agree to give you 4 1/4 P.cent for a year or two longer, or till such time as notice is given on either side as trade is now bad and he can make use of the money. You may therfore let me know yr resolution on that head and I will send you his answer in 10 or 12 days. I am &c JR Reced the 5th Nov 1759 of Mr Richmond the sum of three pounds for one years in[teres]t..t of 60s that will be due on the 23rd inst.from Wm Ward Esq to Mrs Ann Pearson J Douglas Newcastle 12th Nov 1759 £37.0.0 Sirs Fifteen days after date pay John Fenwick Esq or order 37£ value reced and place the same to account as advised by Sirs your ms hble svt Jos Richmond To Mess..rs Plumbe and Brown Goldsmiths in Fosters Lane London
