To Geo. Sandeford Crowe Esq. in Durham

Newcastle 22 Oct 1756

Sir

In ans[we]r to yo[u]r Lre of the 19 inst you herew[i]th receive the D[ea]n & Chapters acct for Jarrow Coll[ie]ry amounting to £8.9.4 wch money you will please to pay as Mr Airey did, for I cannot pay it. I have given Mr Wilkinsons Ex[ecu]tors credit in acct  for Sr.Wr.Blacketts 1/2  as usual. Sr.Wr has always p[ai]d Mr Ellison's rent of £150 a y[ea]r for Gatesh[ea]d Fell Coll[ie]ry so th[a]t Mr Wilkinsons Ex[ecu]tors are considerably indebted to him after Credit given them for his 1/2 of the paym[en]ts they have made the Chap[te]r & Mr Brandling, besides near £20 on Mr Wilkinson's Proper acct wch I gave in to Mr Airey in 1753. As we have now quite done with Mr Ellison for the B[isho]ps Colliery & also with the D[ea]n & Chap[te]rs (except the £40 a y[ea]r certain rent & £20 a y[ea]r for Miliner Steath for the next two years) I shall very soon make out & send you the partners[hi]p acct as it stands in Sr.Wrs. books. Miss Ledgard is greatly indebted to Sir Wr. & I beleive also to Mr Wilkinson's Ex[ecu]tors but how the money is to be recovered I do not know; for Mr Featherston her Guardian pleads she is poor & has nothing to pay with.  I am etc   JR
