Letter – Nicholas Walton to Thomas Simpson – 30 May 1758

To Mr Simpson                               		Ravensworth Castle   May the 30th   1758



Sir

      I had a Letter last post from Edward Nicholson acquainting me that Cape goes on with his Suit, which I had no doubt of before, but as he desires we may not omit writing to you on the subject, I give you the trouble of this to desire you will take all necessary care, & give such orders to Nicholson as are proper for his defence.  I know of nothing we can do in it as we have no old Court Rolls or any thing else that can be of use in the Tryal.  The proceedings of the Court since we have been concerned Mr King has regularly entered I suppose in a Book he keeps for that purpose, but that I presume can be of no use in this Dispute.  Mr Boag will be in Alston Moor in a few Days and may probably see you at Penrith before he returns.

      I am Sir Yours etc 

      Nichos. Walton
