Letter – Henry Richmond to William Robson – 10 Dec 1761
To Mr Wm. Robson at Wallington Newcastle 10th December 1761
Sr. Your Lre of yesterday about Edward Fenwicks descent f[ro]m Sr. Richard Stote does indeed put me upon the scent as you say, but it is so faint a one & so different from what we have hitherto been upon that I shall be quite foiled unless you can give me some more particular information. Because as there are some records that clash with your acco[un]t it is impossible for any body to form a right

Hon[ou]rd Sir
The poll for the city of Durham ended last night when the number for Major Gowland was 775 & for Gen[era]l Lambton 752 so that the former will be returned. As Major Gowland has polled 214 of his honorary Freemen it will certainly occasion a petition to parliament on behalf of the General. But whatever may be the fate of this return, those here, who wish well to our Constit

Therefore, as there is at present Enough upon the farm at Kenton to pay you & as in case an Execution sho[ul]d come ag[ain]st the Goods there you would only get one y[ea]rs rent out of the 4 & ½ y[ea]rs rent due at Martin[ma]s you will please to consider
