Sir

      We Reced. the favour of yours of the 5th Inst Yesterday Evening & are much obliged to you for it.  We can have no objection to to Micl. Dodd’s appearing at Ovingham Court provided the Tenant of the Estate of Buteland did so before forfeiture; while the Estate was in the King no Tenant was Answerable to the Court of any private Lord, but being now taken out of the Crown, we apprehend every one is liable as they were before the Forfeiture, but in this Case we must be careful to know whether this Estate was liable before the Forfeiture or not.  Mr Boag is on his Journey to the West Country & will call upon the Bailiff of Ovingham & desire they will postpone any proceedings till proper enquiry is made and therefore we think Michl. Dodd need not attend this Court.  We hope for the pleasure of your Company at Wark on Thursday the 19th Inst. at Dinner, in the meantime We are

      Yours etc.

      N. Walton H. Boag
