 To Sir Wr Blackett Bt MP  London					20th April 1759

Honrd Sir, I have waited hitherto for Mr Robson’s sending me the new Articles in order to make you out a perfect rental of Wallington Estate f[ro]m Mayd[ay] next, but there are some farms yet unlet that he waits your directions for, wch I have put down according to his valuation & if they are let accordingly I believe the rental herew[i]th inclosed will be very right – Wm the Gard’ner says there are two small pine Apples almost ripe, wch sho[ul]d be cut in 3 or 4 days, & he desires to know what you wo[ul]d please to have done with them, there will no more be fit to cut he thinks in less than a month   I am &c    JR
