Letters – Joseph Richmond to Walter Blackett – 4 Feb 1758

To Sir Wr. Blackett Bt. Newcastle 4 Feb 1758 Dr. Sir I have this moment been talking wth the Kirkheaton tenants, who seem to me to be an Artful set of People, tho' ignorant; but not so ignorant as not to have been apprized th[a]t they may continue in possession without attorning to anybody; till a proper owner can be found for the Estate. They say Minican has promised in a post or two to procure them an Indemnity & if so they seem inclined to continue tenants under the indemnity.

February 1758 To Mr Thos.
