To Sir Wr Blackett Bt MP London					25th March 1759

Honrd Sir	

As you have thoughts of leaving the Town ab[ou]t the 7th of next Month I cannot draw upon you for the £5000 for I can only draw as I can meet with the money wch may be a Work of sometime, I am therefore still of opinion that if you do not come directly to Newcastle & bring the bank post bills along with you for about £200 each, there is no better way than to send them by the post, in wch I think there can be little or no hazard if you please to keep an acco[un]t of the Numbers & acquaint me the post before you send them that I may advise you if they do not come safe to hand, Or if you think the hazard too great to send them all at once they may be sent by different posts, But if you do not approve thereof nor intend to be here by the middle of next month the money may be placed in some hand you can confide in for me to draw for it   I am &c  JR
