To Mr Chris. Denton in Greys Inn  London

1st December 1754

Sir

Thos.Allan's term in Blakelaw farm at W.Kenton will expire at Mayday next & he has been w[i]th me today to know whether he is then to remove or may continue another y[ea]r to w[hi]ch I c[oul]d give him no ans[wer], but I think it incumb[en]t upon me to acquaint you therew[i]th, for if he is to remove it is reasonable he sh[oul]d know it & if he is to continue another y[ea]r he ought to be restrained by a proper Article f[ro]m taking any advantage of the farm, w[hi]ch he may otherwise perhaps do. If you think proper to give me any directions herein, or I can otherwise be of any service I shall readily execute your Commands to the best of my power.

I am etc   JR
