Sir I am sorry to hear of George Pringle’s Death. I am afraid Sir Walter will be a Sufferer by him, notwithstanding you have so good an acco[un]t of his stock. You have certainly done right in dispatching Mr Liddel & Mr Laidler to secure all that can be come at. You know he has paid no Rent & therefore owes £225 for a year and a halfs’ Rent due Martin[m

Sir I am sorry that Allendale petty tithes cannot be at the old Rent of £100 a year. I do not see any reason for it except the Scarcity of Fodder last Spring has lessened the number of lambs, calves etc. But tho[ugh] the old Tithes may have suffered by that calamity there is now a better prospect for new ones. Seven pounds a year is a great abatement, without any a

Halfmoon Street Picadilly London
Hon[our]d Sir The demand for Lead at this point in the Year 1760.61 & 62 was not sufficient to take off your whole quantity; and this, rather than a Refusal of the current price in hopes of a better, was the cause of its accumulating. The price in 1760 was down at £11 p[er[ Fother; wch was £20 a Fo[the]r lower than your Lead had cost

Sir I am glad you are at last offered the old Rent for Allandale Tithes: and as from what you say about them, that Rent appears to be as much as can be expected for them, I think Sir W[alte]r Blackett will have no objection at all to your letting them to Will[ia]m Lee for nine Years with Liberty to quit at the end of the third and Sixth Year. If you have any doubt about Lees Sufficiency, he

Sir I received your Letter of the 11th instant, but am afraid the Title deeds of Mollersteads cannot be sent to London, for the Estate is Mortgaged and I find there will be no small difficulty in getting the Mortgagee to part with the deeds even to a Council in the Country. Might not the Governors of Queen Ann’s Bounty, by appointing some person there or at Durham, whom they can depend upon, t
