To Mr John Fenwick in Robert's Place York

Newcastle 14 March 1758

Sir

I have rec[eive]d yo[ur] fa[vou]r of 9th inst. & do not see how the estate can properly be conveyed to Sir Wr. without Mr Wards joining therein, unless you covenant to leave so much money in Sr. Wrs. hand during Mr Wards life as the intrest thereof at 4 P[er]Cent will pay his ann[ui]ty but if Mr Ward is willing to convey you may purchase his ann[ui]ty of Sr. Wr. if you can agree upon terms; & if you prefer this method I desire to know Mr Wards age & how many years purchase you will give for the Annuity.  I am etc   JR
