To Mr Carlisle



Sir

      Mr Winshop has demanded of us a small Rent of 16s6d as due out of the derwentwater Estate,  which we have refused the payment of till we coud be inform’d from you of what kind this rent is. We apprehend it to be a farmrent, & that it was not Claimed at the time of the forfiture by which it became forfited to the Crown as several other fee farm Rents did which we have been directed not to pay. What we desire is that you will inform us as particularly as you can whether this be a fee farm Rent or not, whither it was Claimed at the time of the forfiture or not, & in Case it be not a feefarmthat you will be so good as inform us what sort of a Rent it is & out of what pticular lands it is payable after which if it appears to us to be due it shall be Imediately payed & for the future you shall have no trouble in the receiving of it from

      Sr Yr Hble Servt

      Nichols. Walton
