Gentlemen

I am much obliged to you for the Copys of the Case & Opinion ab[ou]t Hexham Mills & of the extracts of Deeds & papers relating Tyndall.

I have mentioned above such of the Deeds & papers as I apprehend from the Extracts we sho’d have full Copys of imediately & I wish that the Hospital wou’d be pleased to order Searches in all probable places for antient Grants Inquisitions &c concerning Tyndale of which I can hardly  doubt there must be sev[era]l as this was an antient Barony & consequently relieving of the Crown besides it was also called a Liberty or Franchise & I have seen somewhere that it was part of the dowry of Phillippa Queen of Edward 3d. A knowledge of the antient State of Tyndal will best  lead to the discovery of the Hospital’s Rights there many of which are disputed others disputable & several by long and continued Incroachments have been already entirley lost.  I am Gentlemen 

Your most obedt  servt

Ed. Stewart
