Ravensworth Castle May 16th 1740
To Mr William Radley
Sir
We reced. your favour of the 8thy Inst. but is sorry that the Leases were not Signed on the day of the Gen[eral] Court. as Sir Charles Wager is gone abroad and it may be some time before he returns, however we hope you will get them signed as soon as you can.
Mr Blackett is not yet come into this Country nor do we know when he will; he sometimes stays a month or two in Yorkshire at his fathers, but his House is in Newcastle upon Tyne. He has also a house in Northumberland.
We think the properest person to send the processes to Serve will be Mr Airey as he is Employ’d in the Hospitals affairs of that kind.
We do not know where Mr Blacketts House is in Town or whither he is a Lodger there or not we are
Sr Your very Hble Servts
