The Owners of Yardford fishery have wrote to Sr. W[alte]r Blackett complaining That you put 2 ring nets into their water, wch they say is a new thing that Sir Wr. has no right to.

I have rec[eiv]ed you [sic] Lre of the 25th inclosing Mr Markhams bill on Mr Brewster for £100 wch I shall place to your acct.

Sir
I have sent you £320 by Josh. Forster, but whether you are to buy 6 or 800 sheep I cannot take upon me to advise; you will be able to judge better than I can, when you see Jno. Harrison & hear what has passed between him & Hump. Hopper. I always understood that Sr. Wr. had 160 stints on Redburn Fell & Hump. Hopper (for the farm he bought of Mr Wilkinson) only 80 Stints, but I can't pretend to tell you how the s

I am ordered by Sr. Wr.

I have sold Mr Hodgson all the old castings at the 3 leadmils at £40 a Ton & he is to take them there at that price & pay the carriage.

Mr Ord has asked Sr. Walter leave to work some stones in the quarry where you discharged his workmen, wch you did right in. So you are not to give them any further obstruction. I have rec-eive]d yo[u]r Lre wth the plan, wch is very neatly done. But I think the surveyor has drawn Mr Ords claim further than he makes it himself for he has drawn it to a well at Powstile house but there is a well wch goes by that name nearer Milstone

I herewith return you the draft of West kenton Lease, as it is agreed to by Messrs Kings after some debate. But as to their laying all the Gro[un]d down to grass 3 years before the end of their term, they insist upon its being contrary to their Agrem[en]t & the custom of the country; unless they were to enter to the whole Estate in grass. I told them I apprehended you meant the £200 to be allowed them for manure, as a compensati
