To Christ’r Reed Esqr.                                    	Ravensworth Castle Nov 10th  1754



Sir   

      As we are engaged now unavoidably in a Suit with Mr Allgood relating his Claim upon Ellingham Rigg, it will be necessary to take early care of the best Evidence we can have and as the assistance of the Gentlemen in that Neighbourhood is of great moment to us, I take the liberty to desire you will give Mr Ridley of Parkend & Your Agent Mr Charlton each a Letter on that Subject; in which you will be pleased to desire they will use their best endeavours to procure Evidence & give such other assistance as they have in their power to support the right of the Hospital against Mr Allgoods Claim.  Mr Stewart goes this Day for Simondburn & will be in that Country for several Days on this business & I think he will write you on this Subject to Day.

      We took the liberty of lying at Chipchase when we were at the Courts & were most kindly entertained by your Brother Soulsby from Newcastle for which I acknowledge my obligations to both you and him.  I hope you’ll not be long out of the Country, as in my opinion your presence in North Tyne is very necessary.  I wish you all possible Health & Happiness & am for Mr Boag & Self

      Sir  Yours etc  Nichos. Walton
