To Sir Wr. Blackett Bt. London

2 May 1758

Hon. Sir

	Mr Peareth is very ready to join with you in the Bond to Mr Fenwick for £2000, so Mr Scott will go forwards with the Conveyances as fast as he can, which will take some time, for a Fine is to be pass'd by Mrs Fenwick & a Search to be made in all the Courts to be satisfied there are no Judgments enter'd.

	The Ejectments are regularly served on all the Kirkheaton tenants, who do not come to any Resolution of attorning to you, but rather seem inclineable to attorn to Mr Stote, tho' I scarce think they will do it, I cannot get the Affidavit of Services ready to send to Mr Denton till next Post.   I am Hon. Sir etc   JR
