To Mr Chris.Denton Gray's Inn London
17 June 1755
Dr Sir
As I wrote you in my last I cannot find any surplus there can be to pay Sr W[alte]r for his purchases, for I take the matter stands as below, & that Wallington & Kenton will just clear the Trust estate of all incumbrances . I have had some talk with Sr W[alte]r about it & if you find I am right he desires you will proceed no further in regard to his purchases, but get all other matters setled as fast as you can, & as he has thoughts of selling Kenton again, he thinks it wo[ul]d be the best way to charge Wallington with Lady Blackett's £5000 & the £1000 Legacy to St And[re]ws so tha]t he may sell Kenton when he pleases clear of all incumbrances. This he orders me to mention to you for your consideration. When the Money th[a]t Calverley is sold for is p[ai]d Mr Lascelles he will have Wallington in security for the remainder of the £118000 till Kenton can be sold & the whole paid off. I hope you are well & am etc JR
