                                                 Newburn Monday Morn.
Sirs,
                             I cannot attend my Duty at Hexham to day
without running the risque of being starved ---I have taken therefore the
Liberty to send you an Acco.of Losses sustain'd in Newburn,wch some through
Ignorance & others by Sickness omitted to give in before, they are among the
poorest of our poor, & deserve a place in the first Class.
                             You have also the Acco. of one Bates who left
Newburn Parish the day after the Flood, & therefore as none of our People
could have an Opportunity of knowing what his Losses, I could not get
it sign'd -- they all know he lost some good Furniture & that he is poor
how poor I do not pretend Myself to say as he is quite a stranger to me.
I understand he had before troubled you with a Letter & Account
                                    I am
                                       Sir
I omitted to mention                   Your most humble Servt.
another Acco. for Loss by Hedges             Thos. Rickman
Ke{?} you will do by it as with the
rest, the man is not rich, nor very poor.
