To Mr Jno.Peart at Newhouse 16th Nov 1754 Sir Mr Errington has been w[i]th me about selling us their Oar at Rispy for which he asks £3.12.0 a Bing, which I think too high as the prece of Lead seems to be on the decline & nobody offers now above £17.5.0 a Fo[ther] & if we have a quarrel with the French, which is very likely, it may fall in 7 or 8 months to £12 of £13 a Fo[ther], however when you have an opportunity I desire you will talk with Jno.Harrison about it and let me hav

Letter – Nicholas Walton to Edward Stewart – 6 Dec 1754

Ravensworth Castle Dec 6th:1754 Sir We have together look’d over the Cases as to Mr Allgoods Claim & think it verry properly drawn; but there is a mistake in Saying the Lord of Wark has no Lands within the Mannor, as this Mannor Comprehends a verry large Tract in which the Hospital have a large estate Viz.
