I have got copies of sev[era]l surrenders at Anickgrainge Couret in 1622, 1631, &1633 in wch it appears by the stile of the court, that Sr. Jno. Fenwick was then Lord of the Manor, the Attornm[en]t is also rectified; & which may be sent Mr Darwin if any way necessary at present. I desire you will take care of the two Lres of the tenants sent to Sr. Walter. The Stotts still keep off the two Reays & Brown f[ro]m attorning. I shall be glad to know w[ha]t steps they are taking. I am told Mr Craister says that when Kirkheaton was sold the Seigniory was reserved for the Crown; if so it must have been before the Grant of Hexham & Anick gr[ainge] : pray have you seen the deeds in Lady Windsors hand & how does that matter appear to you? What is Mr Craister doing for its talked th[a]t the Stotts will get into possession of the Estate at Howden pans, where they have ejected the tenants. I wish you a good journey into the North. We have here very wet weather. I am etc JR
