To Sir Walter Blackett Bt in Curzon Street

19th Nov 1754

Hon Sir

As there is now only between 3 & 4 years to go in the Dean & Chapters Lease of Jarrow Colliery, I am pretty well assured they will let it into other hands if no Agreement is made with them in 8 or 9 months time, for after 18 years of the 21 are expired, they look upon themselves discharged from any Obligation of further Treaty with their old Tenants. You know all the Circumstances that attend this Affair, & I mentioned them again to Mr Denton when last here & it was his Opinion that it was not worth your while to think any more about it, however I think it my Duty to mention this Business again as the term is so near expiring.

I am etc  JR
