Sir/ I have barely time to write you by this days post that I am just come from Durham & have got the new lease for Years & given Mr Halhead Sir Wr’s notes wch no doubt will be in Messrs Hoars & Cos hands very soon. I was at Durham the last week but the person with whom Mr Halhead had left the Lease was fm home. I think when Sir Wr’s notes are taken up it wo[ul]d be right to preserve them as an evidence that Sr. Wr. Has paid £2500 for the renewal of the Lease in case the s[ai]d sum or any part of it shall be admitted a charge upon the trust estate. I am etc    HR
