Sir Walter has declined doing a Thing of that Nature, being on the Contrary ready to concus with any Measures that his L[or]dship and the Land holders of Wolsingham shall think adviseable, for supporting their claim to this part of the Common.

Not meeting with you at Durham I waited upon Mr Wilkinson & Mr Johnson; to whom I beg leave to refer you for the particulars of what I had further to say to you. I am etc   HR
