	We hope the Accot. given the 13 Inst of the Severall abuses in the Der[wentwater] Estate came safe to your hands & has been before the Board, & doubt not but they will order proper methods to be taken to surpress it, but We beg leave further to Observe that Severall Tennants are Tearing out Fresh ground  & will not be hindred from it, as they are under no manner of Covenant this Sir we beg may be laid before the Board for their Consideration & we are  Sir Yours &c
