Mr Walton says they are ready to pay the fee farm rents for the same time they pay L[or]d North[umber]land, wch he thinks is for 7 or 8 y[ea]rs; but they expect the Landtax to be allowd, wch the Earls agents will not agree to; alledging his rents are not liable to pay the same; so the matter remains at pres[en]t in suspence.

I think the Candles for Allanh[ea]ds Coalcleugh are charged much too high at 6s6d a Dozn. wo[ul]d it not therefore be right for you to make Enquiry what the price is at Appleby, where we used to be supplyed much cheaper than we co[ul]d be at Hexham in Mr Armstrongs time; if there is no material difference the preference ought certainly to be given to Mr Allgood.
