           at Kirkharle



Sir      I have a Letter from Sir Walter Blackett mentioning that you have asked leave to shoot upon the Moors near Wallington; & desiring me to acquaint you that such leave from him will be a very bad precedent , as it must open a Gate to any Gentleman that will ask him.  & that even the Gentlemen of the County have been so obliging as not to shoot upon those Moors but when he was at Wallington & they go out with him.  Sir Walter bids me also acquaint you that he has stopt all work at Wallington till his return & gives me some directions, in respect of the trouble he has already given you, which I hope I may have an opportunity of communicating to you before you leave this part of the Country.     I am etc    HR
