Ravensworth Castle June 19th. 1739
Dr Sir
We have recd. all the Leases which were Sign’d at the last General & the Counterparts filled up, but we observe the words relating to the Tennants grinding their Con at Woodhall Mills is not taken out of those which lye at great distance from it as was agreed upon.
Such of them as are so Circumstanced as to lye without the Barrony of Langley or Manour of Wark will never Sign a Lease wth that Covenant, therefore it must be taken out before they Sign, & they insist also that it shall be also taken out of the part Signed by theGeneal Court. We therefore desire to know whether it is justifyable in us to eraise the Words out of these parts that are Signed & whether we may doe it without an order of Board, we are unwilling to lay it before them without first acquainting you with it, so that pray if it is necessary take their Directions, and lett us have yours, for our Government as soon as possibly you can & You’l Oblige , Sr, Yours &c
Walton & Boag
