Sir

      By the Mail Coach of this Day from hence you will receive a Box containing a Plan of the Estates of Greenwich Hospital in Hexhamshire, including the several Allotments of Common made to the Hospital, in respect thereof, upon the Division of the Hexhamshire and Allendale Common, and as the Grounds at Turfhouse, lately purchased of John Dixon and Thomas Leach, are Copyhold, and the Hospitals original Estate is Freehold, it has been thought necessary, that a plan of Turfhouse alone, with the respective Properties delineated thereon, distinguishing the Freehold from the Copyhold, should accompoany the general Plan.  A Field or Survey Book is also sent therewith, which shews the Quantity of Ground contained in each Field or parcel of Ground belonging to Greenwich Hospital, and we beg leave to recommend, that the Plans and Field Book, may be deposited, with the Copy of the Award lately transmitted to you, in the Record Room, as collectively, they will distinctly shew the Hospital’s Property in Hexhamshire. The House and Garth belonging to Thomas Leach and the Allotment of Thomas Roddam are Copyhold. It will be proper to let this Letter remain with the Plans. We are

      Sir Your most obedt Servts

      Walton & Turner
