To Messrs Burns at Berwick

Newcastle 31 Jan 1758

Sirs

In my Lre dated 27 Dec I desired you to pay Sr. Thos. Haggerston  two y[ea]rs Castle rent due Mich. last & to deduct £1.3.4 for Landtax, but his Stew[ar]d writes me that he will not allow any Landtax for more than the even pounds, so that the deduction for Landtax is only to be £1.1.0 & the money to be p[ai]d him is therefore £5.12.4 wch I desire you will pay & take his rec[eip]t for £6.13.4 in the manner mentioned in my lre; for tho I kn ow what I wrote you is right, yet it is not worth the while to dispute about such a Trifle.   I am etc   JR
