Letter – Lancelot Allgood to Robert Allgood – 15 Feb 1775

to Mr Robt Allgood at Hexham			Nunwick Febry 15th 1775



Sir

      I received yours last night of the 13th and upon looking into The Deed of Trust, I find it appears to be dated 27th Febry 1762, and is therein mentioned that William Pantoune deceased left James Pantoune an Infant then of age of Seven Years or thereabouts, to whom One Hundred Pounds, & the Interest at 4 ½ percent to be for his maintenance during Infancy, and when of the Age of Twenty One Years, the principal & what Interest shall be then due, to be paid to him, upon his Conveying his Right, Title and Interest of in & to the Premises of High Sheild etc You must consider this is a Deed of Trust made to me for the benefit of several people so if Your Sister must have the Deed she must send me a proper Receipt for the return of it to me. I would advise the searching the Register to know his exact age because by the Deed he appears to be only Twenty Years old

      I am Sir, Your most Obedient

      L Allgood
