Dr Sir
You herewith receive inclosed the particulars of Kenton Estate, & the Draft of the Conveyance you sent me, and under another Cover you receive by this Post as particular an account as you desire of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, taken from the several Stewards Rentals &c which you will put into a more regular method, but surely to insert all these particulars is unnecessary as the Tenants names, especially the Cottagers are c
Letter – Nicholas Walton to Robert Ancrum – 14 Apr 1758
To Mr <Ro> Ancrum Ravensworth Castle Apr. 14 1758
Sir
I did not receive your Letter of the 7 Inst sooner than last Tuesday Evening, so that I did not answer it before this day. I did mention to Mr Romer , that in case you desired it, you should be permitted to hold the farm at Scremerston till Whittsuntide but at the same time I did not consider how near that was to old Mayday, & as I never heard from you after I spoke to you, I presumed y

To Mr. Romer Ravensworth Castle Apr. 14 1758
Sir
I received yours of the 9th Inst only last Tuesday & coud not answer it by that days post as it came too late. You may remember I spoke to you about Mr Ancrums continuing upon his farm till Whitsuntide & I mentioned it to him afterward but he then said little to it & took no notice of it to either Mr Boag or me afterwards which made me conclude he thought it Immaterial as Whitsuntide is so near

Hon. Sir
I presume Mr Collingwood has acquainted you that nothing was got done at Anick Grainge Court last thursday, for there were only 13 appeared on the jury, & two of them being Kirkheaton tenants would not agree in finding the Escheat, so that this Opportunity is lost, and is bad management in some side for timely notice was given to get a proper jury. I am therefore afraid L[or]d North[umber]land will get into Possession of Kirkhe

25 April 1758
Dr Sr.
I guess by what Mr Scott has said th[a]t w[ha]t L[or]d No[rthumber]land goes upon wth regard to Kirkheaton is th[a][t Sr. Jno. Heydon who bought the manor of Hexham of the Crown in 1632 with sev[era]l other Estates sold some part of his purchase to the Piercy Family, & what Mr Wm. Rutter has s[ai]d to my son today amounts to the same thing. You see by the deeds what Sr. J. Heydon sold to Sr. J. Fenwick & the original patent f

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.

When Mr Baker's Agents rode in the Field belonging to Middle Dukesfield they sho[ul]d have been stop'd. however pay no Acre Money for it, as you are certain none has ever been paid, it must most likely be part of the Freehold.
