RH15/102/6/2/84. Undated but reference to Stack Moss and Belton Graine are also made in Wilson’s letter of April 1681, and Blackett’s annoyance about the steward hectoring the men echo complaints he made about Wilson to Standsfield the previous December. This letter is therefore tentatively dated to 1 January 1681
