To Mr Wm Alvey Darwin at his Chambers on Grays Inn		6 Mar[ch] 1759

Sir ….			

In your Lre of the 27th ult[o] I rece[ive]d Mr Dentons acco[un]t & inclosed I send you a Duplicate thereof sign’d by me. 

I desire you will speak to Mr Thomas about getting any Recognizance for West Kenton vacated, the Expence of which is paid for in the last Acco[un]t settled by the <Ma[…]r>.  As Mrs Denton was one of my Securities I hope you’l endeavour to get it discharg’d  there is £7 3s 10d in my hand which the <Ma[…]r> did not think proper to divide among the Parties till Mr Beaumonts arrear of £200 should be paid, which I imagine is not intended to be required of him, tho he is able enough to pay it, I have done all in my Power to recover the money in vain, I made my Affidavit of serving the writ against him & sent it to Mr Denton who wrote me he had delivered it to Mr Thomas, & if the money is not to be required, my Recognizance ought not to stand out on that account, I am ready to pay the £7 3s 10d as the Ma[]r shall appoint  I am &c  JR
