Dukesfd. 15th March 1773
To Anthy. Surtees Esqr.
At Ackworth near Pontefract in Yorkshire
Dear Sir
Mr. Richmond being Struck wth the Palsy last week prevents my giving an Answr. as to your Lane at Apperley, but once he’s so well as to talk about Business (and by the Accot. last post I hope it will not be long) shall wait upon him & will be able at the same time to have Sr Wrs Sentiments upon it as he’s expected home in ten days time & if your Terms be then approved off, shall immediately wait upon you wth. a proper Lease for you to execute tho’ I am afraid the Rent will be thought too much, and I wish you would allow me to call it 10 instead of 15£ & then I think I wuld prevail upon Sr. Walter to accept it.
The Inclosing of Commons is now become so general that I hope you’ll have no objection to a clause being in the Lease, in case that the Common there should be Divided before the expiration of the Lease to allow Sr. Wrs Lead to be laid down wth.in your allotment adjoining to the High Way &am yrs. &c
IH Jr
