To Mr Chris. Denton  Grays Inn London

9 June 1758

Dr Sir

If S[i]r W[alte]r & you should think any of the p[er]sons mention'd in my last improper to be named as Comis[sione]rs I think Mr Thos. Dixon will do very well but Mr French being one of L[or]d No[rthumber]lands Agents I fancy he will not chuse to act. Mr Beaumont now tells me he does not know when he can pay the £200 therefore I desire to know whether I must send up my affid[avi]t & if the Writ  is to be returned therewith, as it cannot be sent in a frank. 

PS since the above I have rec[eiv]ed yours of 6 inst but as Mr Robson has the attornm[en]t & Lres signed by the tenants I cannot send you them by this post  Jno.Moraley jun. , one of those that signed the 2d Lre to Sr.Wr. has attorned. The two Reays & Brown still stand out.  I am etc   JR
