To Mr Denton  Greys Inn London

12 Nov 1754

Dr Sr

I enclose you herewith my acct of West Kenton Rents for the yearended at Mayday last, with 3 vouchers for the payments I have made this year for Land Tax & S[i]r Arthr.Hazlerig's Rent, & you will receive by this post under another cover 13 vouchers for the payment of the ballance of my last acct ending Mayd[ay] 1753 excepting Medfordd Bakers proportion of 16.5.0, wch was respited till further order, & is now included in the ballance of this years account. Thos.Allan's term for Blakelaw farm will expire at Mayd[a]y next, I desire you will acquaint the parties therewith, & let me know whether I am to get him to sign a new Article, or let him continue without one. It is also necessary to lay out £5 or 6 now in repairing some of the houses, otherwise it may require thrice that sum to repair them in a very little time. I think it my duty to mention these things, for as I hear nothing how Mr Wilson goes on with the purchase, nor when he is to enter upon the Estate I am at a loss how to act herein. I desire you will advise the receipt hereof & also of the other Vouchers.

I am etc JR
