Letter – Nicholas Walton to John Romer – 19 Mar 1758

To Capt.  Romer.                         		Ravensworth Castle   March 19th   1758



Sir

      Mr Boag & I rec’d from Mr Clennel the Conveyance from old to young Mr Armorer for which we gave him a Rect.  there appears by this conveyance to be a charge of £50 p Annum to old Mr Armorer & £500 a piece to Mrs Romer & Mrs Grieve, both of which sums we presume were paid and as Mrs Grieve no doubt gave a release for her £500 that Release is wanting and must be produced.  If Mrs Romer reced. her £500 there is no doubt a Release from her which must also be produced, but that is not so necessary as you can set that Matter to rights yourself.  The £50 per Annum to old Mr Armorer we must be indemnified against in some proper manner. I wish to hear from you as to these particulars as soon as you can that we may have Mr Greys opinion to send our Board, who have ordered all the Writings to be sent up to be laid before the Council which must be done in Case Mr Grey’s Opinion is not satisfactory, and for this purpose you must think of some friend in London to send them to, in Case it should be necessary.  I am

      Sir Yours etc   Nichos. Walton
