To Mr Richard Seymour Ravensworth Castle Octr. 5th 1753
Sir
We received your favour of the 30th of September last by last Post in Answer to which we are ready to pay the Earl of Northumberland all such Rents as have been formerly paid to his Grace the Duke of Somerset out of the Derw’t. Estate but the new demand of a Rt. for the Barony of Langley we have orders not to pay till the Board of Directors for Greenwich Hospital are Satisfied that the same is due. This we apprehended we had acquainted you with at your last Audit, but if we were misunderstood we now repeat it, and are ready to pay all such Rents as formerly were paid to his Grace the Duke of Somerset as above. There is some small difference between your demand of the Old Rents & what we find were paid which we doubt not but you will find agreeable to the Inclosed upon further Examination into Your Claim. We have this post transmitted your Letter to the Secretary for Greenwich Hospital in order that the Board may know how they may be satisfied as to the Rent Claimed out of the manor of Langley and as soon as we receive their Commands you shall hear from
Sir, Yrs etc N.W. H.B.
See following letter of 5 Oct 1753 to Richard Horne which encloses a copy of Richard Seymour’s letter to which Walton and Boag are replying here. The list of Rents payable was sent to Richard Seymour and Richard Horne.
