To The Rev[eren]d Dr Sharp at Hartburn             Newcas[tle]  13th March 1764

near Morpeth



Sir   I received your Letter of the 11th instant, but am afraid the Title deeds of Mollersteads cannot be sent to London, for the Estate is Mortgaged and I find there will be no small difficulty in getting the Mortgagee to part with the deeds even to a Council in the Country. Might not the Governors of Queen Ann’s Bounty, by appointing some person there or at Durham, whom they can depend upon, to Examine the Title, receive as much Satisfaction as by sending the Deeds to London?

I shall be glad to hear from you as soon as convenient; and in the mean time shall desire Mr Dodds to prepare a full abstract of the Deeds. I am he                   HR
