Sir Mr Blackett will be much obliged by your informing him if you have taken any steps in Order to ascertain the Copyhold Boundary of Harehope Gill Lead Mine.

Dear Skelton,
I have the favour of yours and with respect to the letting of the Mill to the Daughters of Parkin, I don’t think them by any means fit persons, & the plan they wish to adopt does not seem a good one. I am very happy to learn the Tenants all paid their rents. <H> Ashton thinks my little Mare will hold, I have no objections to her being covered by Mr. Wilson’s horse, and <Wildair> may also be covered by any horse he likes best.

Dear Skelton
I have the proposals of Mr. Swallow before me, and it is a matter of such serious concern that I don’t know what to say on the subject, from your letter to me it appears as if you thought their proposals <eligible>. The persons who are bound if any are to join with him ought to be persons of property and who are well known, he himself should be a man possessed of a great capital or he never can embark on such a great undertaking, for we may be d

Dear Skelton,
I have sent you Mr. Baily’s nomination. You have sent me part of the proposals of Mr Swallow but not the whole, as there were some remarks made on some of the Clauses which I objected to. As to getting the Ironstone by the <heart Eye> method I have no objections to, and if they are obliged to pursue the old way & he will pay for the Land it is just the same thing. I did not understand I was to lay out 500£, I thought he was to pay all

Sir,
Since my arrival in Town I have seen General Prescott, who is within a few days of his departure for his appointment as Governor of Quebec, & as I understood from my Clerk who just before I left Yorkshire for the South, waited upon you upon another Matter of Business, that you had something to say or do, respecting the General’s affair between him & Mr. Beaumont, but that then you had not time for it. If therefore there is anything <essential> to his Int[eres]t that you th

Dear Skelton,
The Affair of Stackpooles is settled, and She is to have the Annuity for her Life, & not the 10,000£. The particulars Mr. Wilson will send you tomorrow. I must confess it has not terminated in the manner I supposed, for the decision has been from the Will not being properly worded, that is, you should, as you say you knew it was the intention not to make a forfeiture left out the Clause, or have inserted it more fully, and the next by your advice we paid her the Annuity whic
