To Joseph Banks Esq. at his house in Chancery Lane London

Newcastle 22 Nov 1756

Sir

I send you enclosed Lre of Attorney & Mr Ord of Fenhams receipt for £2407.15.1 by Mr Wilson's directions; wch I desire you will advise the receipt of.  As the Lre of Attorney does not express the exact sum reported due to Mr Ord I was under some doubt whether to pay the money; But the sum p[ai]d is right with the Master's report & less than mencond [mentioned] in the Letter of Attorney   I thought it was better to pay it than let it lay in my hand, especially as Mr Ord has promised that if it is necessary he will get the L[or]d Chief Baron to rectify what is amiss & give another receipt, on the inclosed being returnd him.  I am etc    JR

PS Please to direct for me in Pilgrim Street, Newcastle upon Tyne
