Sir

In answer to your Lre of the 6 inst. if Jos.Bell has got Administration to the Effects of Thos.Armstrong you must deliver him up the goods in Coalcleugh house except what you are certain belongs to Sir Wr. Blackett, for we cannot hold them ag[ain]st him; but nust come upon the wid[o]w for her husbands deficiencies wch by her Lre she is obliged to pay as far as £36 will do it. I desire therefore you will enquire among the sev[era]l tenants & workmen whether they allow the Arrears to be agreable to the Rental & Gen[era]l accts & let me know. & that you will also know of Mrs Armstrong what  she proposes to do, that I may acquaint Sr.Wr. therewith for his directions. As to her settlem[en]t she must dispute that point with the administrator, if she think fit to do so. I am sorry you find things so bad at Coalcleugh; but do not fear you will in time put them in a better consition, & th[a]t under yo[u]r conduct the Grove will flourish again.  I am etc    JR
