D[ea]r Sir

I have had an opportunity this morning of acquainting Sir Wr with the contents of your letter and he is desirous of having Mr Norton retained for him if it can be done But is not willing that the tenants set up their leases to prevent a tryal.

I have a lre from Mr Harrison that 3 of our oldest witnesses vizt  Pigg Stokoe and Fairlam are dead; so we shall have the less to do at this comission    I hope to see you on Monday evening

I am Dr Sir yrs &c JR
