Newcastle 23 Nov 1756

Sir

I rec[eiv]ed your Lres of the 15 & 17 inst & agreable thereto have taken Mr Ord of Fenhams rec[eip]t for 2407.15.1 at the foot of L[or]d Chief Baron Ords Lre of Attorney wch I have sent by this post to Mr Banks & also advised Mr Thomas that I have done according to your Directions. As the Ch[ief] Barons Lre of Attorney does not correspond with the above sum reported due to him by the Master I was under some doubt whether to pay the money But as the sum p[ai]d is £92.17.6 Less than he mencons [mentions] being the 2 last y[ea]rs divid[en]ds I tho[ugh]t it co[ul]d not be amiss to pay it as I am assured if any alteracon is required it will be readily complyed with, wch I have mencond [mentioned] to Mr Banks Mr Ord had sent the Lre of Attorney to be rectifyed, but the L[or]d Ch[ief] Barons Ans[we]r was th[a]t he could not get a Stamp where he was & as the sum to be p[ai]d was less than w[ha]t was mencond [mentioned] in the Letter of Attorney there co[ul]d  be no objection to the paying it.    I am etc    JR
