Sir

	We recd. yours this day dated 12th Inst. in favour of Mr R Anderson who we are very ready to Oblige in any thing where we reasonably can & know it in our power, not only at your Request but upon his own acct.

	The Estate at Scremerston was Lett in London & according to the Agreemt. everyone must Enjoy, unless it is by a private agreemt. amongst the Tennants now as this Agreemt. wth. the Tents.by Mr Anderson is amongst themselves we are afraid all we can doe is to recomend wt you Desire, & that you may Depend we will the very first Opportunity we have of seeing the tenants all together. We will not have a Rec.t of the Rents sooner than betwixt Mich[aelmas]  and  Martinmas & Consequently may not till then have an opportunity of Seing all the partys, but as a Letter from us will have less Weight than Speaking to the Tents. we advise nothing being done till we see them  & We are 

      Sir Yor. most Obed. Humb. Servts

      N: Walton  H: Boag  



PS If you think a letter from us to the Ten.ts. or if we can in any other way proceed to doe Mr Anderson Service we will most Readily Oblidge you with any thing we can.
