Dr. Sr.

	I herewth return you my W. Kenton acct. wth my Affid[avi]t thereon for wch I p[ai]d Mr Widdrington £2 wch you will charge in yo[u]r bill -- As to the Affid[avi]t ab[ou]t Hexham Division &c I have no scruple abo[u]t making it because I know Sir Wr. has allowd all the money & I beleive his Agents have p[ai]d it accord[in]g to their vouchers, but there is an Article of 66.4.6 rep[ai]d by the Com[missione]rs being an over assessment on Sr.Wr. as appear'd on settling the accts. wch I did not know when I made my last Affid[avi]t. I want to know how this Article is to be mention'd, whether according to the Words in the inclosed paper & whether it is to be deducted f[ro]m the Hexham Schedule or the Schedule is to be returned as you sent me down & the 13.8.3 & 66.4.6  only inserted in my Affid[avi]t. Please to return me the inclosed paper relating to these two Articles.   I am  etc  JR
