To Mr Chris. Denton, Grays Inn London 8 April 1757 Dr Sir I have rec[eiv]ed y[ou]r six ticketts & given your acct. credit for six Guineas if they cost any more pray let me know. I expect shortly to be ready with my W.Kenton acct. for the half y[ea]r ending at Mart[inma]s last, & am endeavouring to get something of Mr Beaumont, who promises me £100 before Mayday. I presume I cannot send up the acct. till you send me down Jane Randolphs rec[eip]t for her last dividend, as I cannot otherwise swear to the payment. Inclosed is a certificate of the improvem[en]ts ny the division of Gunnerton Hexham & Shilden Commons. there is still more money to be laid out by Sir W[alte]r for Yarridge & Welton, but I cannot near ascertain the sum: p[er]haps it may be £200 or upw[ar]ds so I hope there will be no Objection to the Allowance of the sums already paid, as set forth in my Affidavits. Mr Scott tells me that L[or]d North[umber]land puts in his Claim for Kirkheaton as being within the Barony of Prudhoe, to wch it pays a Quit rent, & the Tenants answer to Ovingham Court. I am etc JR.
