To Jno. Corbett Esqr.                                  		Ravensworth Castle  Febr’y 14 th 1752



Sir   

      We reced. your Letters of the 5th and 6th of February Inst. and observe the Boards’ Directions as to the payment of the Fee Farm Rents, which we duly observe and apply to the Dean and Chapter of Carlisle for the Renewal of the Leases of Dilston and Lorbottle Tithes; but as you take no notice whether the Law Bill is paid which they lately demanded, we will omit any application ‘till we hear again from you; as in case it is not paid that will be an obstacle.  And another thing we beg leave to observe and that is whether it is not most proper to have the Renewal of these Leases in the Names of the Commissioners of the Hospital, from whom we are apprehensive the Dean and Chapter will expect two Thousand Pounds Security you will please to lay this before the Board and when we have their Commands will immediately apply to the Dean & Chapter

      We are yours etc

      Walton & Boag
