To Wm Corbett Esqr
Sr Ravensworth Castle June 15 1736
We have reced a Small Box with the Papers relating the Commission of Enquiry the Pticulars of which as they are numbered agree with Mr Horne’s Schedule, a Copy of which is herein incerted, all wch we acknowledge to have reced.
The carriage of this small box which weighs only about Six Pounds, is charged One Guinea, as the Carryer Says was to be pay’d by agreement, & we could not have it on any other Termes & therefore we were obliged to pay the Carriage of it, tho’ we are of opinion it is an Imposition: For the future when you have occasion to Send us any thing in the same way, we Should desire to have Notice what Carriage is agreed to be paid.
We have gott the Woods at Newlands & Whittingstall Weeded which we expect cost about £16 tho’we have not yett gott the Account of it; The Bark of the Weedings we have Sold to Mr Francis Marshall, Mr Wm Oliver, & Mr George Rowell Tenners in Newcastle for Forty Pounds Sixteen Shillings & 8d for which they have given their Joynt promry Note payable at Martinmas next.
The Woods at Newlands lye interspersed in the Tennants Lands, for which reason we cannot till the latter end of next Month, convert the Wood cutt down, to proper uses, as it would now do a great deal of damage to their Meadows; but as soon as it can be done it Shall be made fit for use & Shall be Sold to the best advantage. We are Sr Your most Obedt Servts
