Sirs,
                     The Person who hath the Care of
Col Schutz's Estate in this Neighbourhood brought
me £5..5..0. this Morning for the Sufferers by the late
Flood ---------- As the Books were clos'd on Monday
last I cannot send it to either of the Banks in Newcastle
but as the Accounts must be finally settled by the Com-
mittee at Hexham, It can never be too late to enter it
on your Book 'til the Settlemt is made, --- I send
you therefore a Newcastle Note for £5. 0. 0. when
the Committee meets again I will pay you ? 5 Shill:
& whatever else I am indebted to you on this Acct.

Newburn 26th Jany 1771.     I am
                                    Sir

                                          Tho Rickman
