Sir

	Sir Walter Blackett has desired me to give an Answer to your Letter complaining of damage done your Tenant by the smoke of Rookhope Mill.  This is a charge cannot be admitted of, because the Benefit you & your Tenants have received by the Neighbourhood of the Mill is well known.  However to obviate any occasion of further complaints Sir Walter will have no Objection to take a Lease of your Farm on the Terms he paid your Father which I believe was sixteen Pounds a Year                                     I am etc                 HR
