Sir

In your lre[letter] to Mr Robson you desire to have an acct. what Landtax has been allowed from time to time for Sr. Wr. Blackett's estate at Lucker, i.e. both the tithes & free lands, for they have never been assessed separately. I have therefore sent it you, as below, distinguishing the different rates at wch the same was allowed. We have no accts. further back than the y[ea]r 1727.   I am etc    H[enry] R[ichmond]
