Letter – Nicholas Walton to John Corbett – 17 Jan 1752

To John Corbett Esqr.      				Ravensworth Castle   Janr’y 17th  1752



Sir        

      I reced. Yours and in Obedience to the Boards Commands of the 8th Inst. I send you an accot. of all the Fee Farm Rents due out of the Derwentwater Estate and not claimed at the Forfeiture in 1715 in all amounting to £31.10.3 per Annum.  Since we were concerned in the Estate several of these Rents were paid by us, but were discontinued by the Boards Orders, others of them which we wrote against with red ink have not been paid ever by us; and the last Column shows what is due upon those which were paid.  I hope this will answer what the Board wants and have only to observe that the several of these Rents have not been paid or demanded, yet I suppose when it comes to be known, that others are paid, these will be demanded in course.  I am 

      Sir     yours etc    N. W
