Dr Sr

	Inclosed you receive Peareth & Sorsbies bill on Freeman & Stainbanks for £500 to pay Lady Mansels  1/2 y[ea]rs ann[ui]ty due the 10th Oct. & the ball[an]ce of my W.Kenton acct. wch I also send you herewith inclosed with four vouchers for the paym[en]ts made the 22d Dec. last pursuant to the Ma[ste]rs report of all wch I desire you will advise the rec[eip]t. I think the ball[an[ce of this acct. sho[ul]d be ordered to be p[ai]d into the bank, otherwise my recognizance cannot be got up till the money is paid to the parties, & then it cannot be done without expence & out of what money is it to be paid ?

	I have rec[eiv]ed yo[u]r letters of the 15 & 17th wth the sev[era]l P[ar]cells of vouchers & schedules & also a Dra[f]t of another affid[avi]t wch I will examine  & consider when I return f[ro]m Hexham whither I intend to go tomorrow to attend the refference between Sr.Wr. & Mr Ord wch I imagine will take up 4 or 5 days.

	I hope Mr Rob. Lisle will be satisfied wth the agrem[en]t made wth Jeffreys & P[ar]tners: his bro[ther] is very well pleased with it.  I am etc   JR
