To Mr Denton

19 April 1757

Dr Sir

I have rec[eiv]ed your Lre of the 14th, but Sir Walter can't find here any of the three Receipts you mention for money paid Mr Stowel, Mr Martin & Mr North, but whether he has them in London he does not know. When Mr Darwin was here he took all the Receipts that Sr. Walter ever delivered to me for money paid by him on the Trust account, but whether any of the receipts you want were among them I can't tell for I kept no acct. of what I delivered to him. I do not find in the [Martinmas] Report any notice taken of the £150 paid Mr Wm.Watson, which ought to be allowed as much as any other article.  Sir Walter has got all the Papers we can find here relating to Kirkheaton & will bring them up to Town with him. As to L[or]d North[umberlan]ds  Claim I look upon it to be without any foundation notwithstanding all Mr Scott says.  I am etc   JR

PS I observed some time agoe in the newspapers that Jos Musgrave esq. in Great Russell Street who had an Estate near Durham called <Keepar..> died in Febry last. Idesire you will let me know as soon as you can to whom he left that estate & who is his Ex[ecu]tor.
