Sir

	Inclosed we send you our Cash Accot. for last Month, by which there is a Ballance of £52.7.5 in our favour, & Likewise under two Covers have sent you the remaining part of the Grand Indenture at Keswick from No.24 Exclusive to No.27 Inclusive in three sheets & the Coppys of three more Indentures which relate to it, all which will Hope Come Safe. Mr Simpson shoud be ordered payment for thes Coppys, which you will please to putt the Board in mind of.

	Mr Wrangham who was Mr Woods Attorney in the Cause Moore & Wood about the Tyths of needless hall, has sued Mr Wood in the Ecclesiasticall Court at Durham for the deduction made out of his bill of £8:5:6 & that will we apprehend bring Wood upon our backs, as he had our repeated promises to stand by him. We send you Inclosed Mr Wranghams letter to us, & desire you will lay the same before the Board for their orders, it wou’d be hard upon us to be obliged to pay this deduction, which we will most Certainly be  obliged to doe, if the Board does not allow of it, as the deduction has not been made by a regular Taxation and we are Sir

      Yours &c

      Walton & Boag
