I am favoured with yours including the Copy of Letter from Mr Lawson. It is a little extraordinary to me that Mr Wescomb sho[ul]d not know his Rights better before he made a formal Claim as it appears from an Abstract of the Title to the Est[ate]s of the late Sir Wm Blackett that they were limited by his Will to divers Persons in Tail Male - consequently Sir Thos. Blackett hav[in]g levied Fines & suffered recoveries which I doubt not were regularl
