To Mr John Mann Attorney at Law in Durham                                               19 December 1761

Sir       

I was sorry my Employm[en]t this morning wo[ul]d not allow me to wait upon you in Gateshead. But since my father saw you there we have enquired & cannot find any body in this Town well enough acquainted with Mr George Surtees of Mensforth to write to him about looking into his deeds relating to Sir George Tong, whose Estate you say he purchased: & therefore must request you will apply to him in such manner as you judge Likeliest to succeed. For it is very probable that the name of Sir George Tongs wife may be discovered f[ro]m some marriage Settlement, or will, that may be in his custody. And if the names of any of Sr. George’s children can also be learnt f[ro]m any of Mr Surtees’s purchase deeds, it will still make the matter clearer. I am etc             HR
