To Mr Chris. Denton Grays Inn London

Newcastle 7 March 1758

Dr Sir

	I have rec[eiv]ed your Lre of the 2d inclosing Copy of the Masters Report, wch I have looked over & think it is allright, except the Outgoings out of  Kearslby & the Copyhold Estates being valued at 32 yrs purchase when the Freehold is only valued at 30 yrs & the Copyholds at 28 yrs purchase, wch I cannot find any reason for & it is surely a deduction of £63.17.8 to Sr. Wrs. prejudice, & the ground taken off Lamberts garden sho[ul]d have been valued at £40 a yr at least & think Sr. Wr. should not give it up if it can still be set right. As to the clothing the 30 Charity boys wch comes to about £30 a yr. I presume it must of course remain a charge on the Trust Estate.

	I hope you will have rec[eiv]ed the Kit of Salmon before this for I find the ship had some misfortune in the voyage & was not got into the pool when your letter came away; but the Owner writes to the Master  about it by this post.   I am etc    JR
