| Newcastle upon Tyne | I have this moment Recvd | |||
| 18 May Sunday | yours of the 12th wherein you say you | |||
| expect to be here the 20th therefore it is | ||||
| 15 May 1783* | very uncertain whether or not this will meet | |||
| Mr Erringtons letter abt my | with you, but as I conjecture you may pos[sibly?] | |||
| Journey to London | wait the coming in of the post on the 18th [??] | |||
| day you probably will set out in order to [??] | ||||
| here the 20th I think it worthwhile to take | ||||
| that chance of your getting this letter. I had a | ||||
| long conference this morning with Mr Askew | ||||
| in the presence of Ld Ravensworth, where much | ||||
| was said of an end being put to this business | ||||
| by compromise, & in that case the bill must | ||||
| be put off till we see how the matter is likely | ||||
| to turn out. I am to see Mr Askew again the | ||||
| day after tomorrow, when you shall hear again | ||||
