To Mr Chris. Denton in Greys Inn London

3 Dec 1756

Dr Sir

I have this day rec[eiv]ed of Mr John Gordon £45.4.6 for his promisory note to you & placed it to your acct. My son John rec[eiv]ed, by Express, this morning the Deeds relating to Hylton & Kenton Estates & is gone to Wallington to get Sir Wr. Blackett to execute those relating to Hylton; But before he attend the L[or]d Chief Baron, the Lre of Attorney & Mr Ord of Fenhams receipt thereon for £2407.15.1, wch I sent to Mr Banks by Mr Wilsons directions must be returned; for I do not imagine he will execute till that is delivered up, with Mr Ord receipt for £92.17.6 in my hands wch money I find was p[ai]d short before, by a misconstruction of the Master's Report. I thank you for this Favour to my son among many others & I am  etc    JR
