Letter – Nicholas Walton to John King – 5 Sep 1758

To Mr John King                              			Ravensworth Castle Sept 5 1758



Sir

      This serves to acquaint you we have fixed the Derwentwater Courts to be Holden at Keswick the 12 October next, & the day following at Thornthwaite, if one is necessary, of which you will give the proper notice.  Ned Nicholson is wrote to this day.  I will take care you shall have the proper style of the <Court> against the Courts  but I think it may be right for you to have the Act of Parliament, which no doubt you can get by sending for it, the Charge of which shall be pay’d you

      I am Sir  yours etc

      Nichs. Walton
