Sir,                        Belford, Janry 20th 1772

              You will here inclos'd receive the
      Book of Subscription, or rather a Paper,
      agreeable to the Committee's Request, of wch
      I had advice by you yesterday's Post.
                                £ "sh " d
              You will receive 51 " 5 " 0 upon
      Demand of Jno Hedley Esqr in Northum-
      berland Street, Newcastle, on Acct of
      the Inclos'd, which is payable to your,
      or any Gentleman of the Committee's,
      Order.
            I am sorry I should have given you so much
      Trouble in requesting an Estimate of the Loss
      sustained, which, was to you both loosing Time
      & Cash; for as you were not to charge in such
      a charitable Act, there would be Postage &c.
      However, to be ingenuous, I should not, with
      out the assistance of your former Letter,
      have succeeded so well by one third of this
      Sum.
             What Riding, as well as Writing I have
      had on this Affair, it may not be material to
      communicate; but this I am confident in,
      That it alone wou'd have enabled a Gentle
      of the Law to have drawn up a £10 Bill. I am
      wishing all imaginable Success to this laudable
      Scheme,           Sir,
                            Your Obedt Servt
                                  Tho Noble
