	We can’t but be much surprized at your behaviour to Mr King after having commited an Offence which we are obliged to acquaint you we cannot pass by, and we have in Justice to our principalls given Mr King orders to prosecute you as the Law in that case directs

	We are also much surprized you shou’d offer any hardship to your under Tennant, by turning him off his Farme, which we will not Suffer you to do on any Terms, as we cannot find that the the poor Man has given him reason to use him so, nor as he had not had proper notice given him it is at your Peril if you disturb him.  we are Your Hble Servts

      Nichos Walton  Hugh Boag
