Sirs

	I am ordered by Sr. Wr. Blackett to acquaint you, that he will propose a refference to Mr Fenwick & the other Gents wch he doubts not but they will agree to, in order to end all differences about the ring nets, & therefore desires you will think of a proper p[er]son for his refferee & try if he will take the trouble of it. He says he has no p[er]sonal acquaintance with Mr Strangeways or would have wrote to him; but if you think him the properest person, your application to him may do as well. You will please to let me have your ans[wer] as soon as you can, & in the meantime collect the best old Evidence you can hear of to support Sir Wrs. right.    I am etc   JR
