To Rich[ard] Wilson Esq at Leeds 6th March 1759 Sir I have rec[eive]d yo[ur] Lre of 28th past & have since seen Mr King who has rece[ive]d the 32000 Quicks. As to the Ash trees that are standing near the Old Hall, they are of no value, so that I think there can be no Objection to his having them for the uses he mentions, for they are dividing the large fields, & will want a great many gates, Your money is all expended sometime ago, of wch I will send you a particular acco[un]t when I remit you the 2 y[ear]s rent due Mart[inma]s last, wch I expect they will pay me the beginning of next month. They are building Cottages houses, & shape so far to do very well, & well they may for they have made a better bargain than I co[ul]d have imagined, having according to my computation let about 500 acres to five tenants for near £500 a year but I find they are under Obligation to lay out a good deal of money for their tenants in building fences etc I am Sr Yo[urs] &c JR
