To Sir Wr. Blackett Bt. at Wallington 22 Nov 1758 Hon. Sir As John Moraley of Kirkheaton, who has attorned to you, did not come to Wallington to pay his rent I fully expected he wo[ul]d have paid it here yesterday at the fair; but he has not yet appeared, tho' he is two y[ea]rs rent in Arrear at Mayd[a]y last. his son said he knew he had lately rec[eiv]ed £40 for goods; so I cannot apprehend what he means by not coming to pay that money. I think Mr Robson or Mr Laidler sho[ul]d go over to know his intentions, for I do not know how far you may be chargeable by suffering any loss that may be prevented. Mr Minican gives Moraley a very indifferent Character - John Moraley the Son is three half years rent behiond at Mayday last. The rest of the Tenants that have attorned to you have p[ai]d all but their last Mayday rent. I am etc JR
