I desire you will make my complim[en]ts to Mr Crow & tell him I have given Mr Wilkinsons Trustees credit for half the above sum & will send him the acct. between Sr.Wr. Blackett & them as soon as I can get the rents for Milin[ea] & Swardshouse, that it may be setled before Mr Wilkinson goes out of the country. There must be a good deal of money due to Mr Wilkinson f[ro]m Miss Leidger, who is also greatly indebted to Sir Walter on acco[un]t of the colliery; she is lately dead, & has left her Estate to Miss Featherston. I think Sir Wr. & Mr Wilkinson sho[ul]d join in calling for their money as there is enough to pay it. I have an Abstract of what writings were in the late Mr Jno. Wilkinson's hand at the time of his death relating to Sir W[illia]m Blacketts Estate; wch Sir W[alte]r desires may now be delivered up, as they are much wanted. I am etc JR
