All the other Parties interested in these Coll[ie]ries have signed the same paper within the last week, & as Sr Wr is the surviving Lessee in of Gatesh[ea]d Fell Coll[ie]ry, Mr Rudd says, Notice must be given in his name to Messrs Carr & Ellison; wch need not be done in writing but by word of Mouth before 2 or 3 Witnesses. I therefore desire you will talk this Matter over again with Sr Wr., & let me have directions if I am to give notice accordingly. The state of these Coll[ie]ries was sent Mr Wilson of Pomfret in January last to lay before S[i]r Wm. Wentworth & Sr Wr had a Copy thereof sent him to London at the same time, but I do not remember to have heard whether Sr Wr rec[eiv]ed any ans[we]r. there is a certain loss of £150 a y[ea]r rent till this Notice is given  I desire an ans[we]r as soon as you can.  I am etc  JR
