Sir

I wrote you on the 17th instant in answer to your Lre of the 12th upon what terms Sir Wr Blackett would let you have his part of Kenton. Sir Walter expected to have had an Answer before this whether you agreed to those terms and he now bids me write you that unless he has a clear Definitive Answer that you will take this Estate upon those terms & that unless such Answer comes to my hands before this day Se’[ven]night he will not look upon himself as any way tied by the offer made You in that Letter of mine of the 17th instant. I am etc   HR

P.S. The Rheumatism has swell’d my right hand so that my Clerk writes this letter for me.
