Letter – Nicholas Walton to Edward Nicholson – 30 Mar 1759

To Mr Edw’d Nicholson                    			Ravensworth Castle  March.  30th 1759



Mr Nicholson

      I  have reced. your Letter by this Days Post and am glad to hear you will be ready to have the Trees Planted when they come.  The Carrier had orders to bring them directly forward to Keswick, so that your Journey to Penrith was needless.  We have now Frost and Snow which may probably reach you & retard the Planting, but don’t be in too great a hurry, as Beeches may be planted later than most Trees; however if the Season now answers, lose no time.  Mr Boag is from home, but as it is time to fix the Courts and Receipts, you have hereby notice to have the Courts proclaimed to be held on Wednesday & Thursday the 25th & 26th of April next, of which you will have notice from Mr King, as I have wrote to him this Day.  We will be at Penrith on Tuesday at Noon the 24th of April, and receive the Rents the next Day at Keswick and I doubt not but you will have every thing ready for us as usual.  I am for Mr Boag & Self

      Yours etc

      Nichos. Walton
