To Richard Horne Esqr Ravensworth Castle June 1st 1759
Sir
As there are several buildings and Repairs proper to be done in the Derwentwater Estate this Summer, we would be glad to have the Boards Direction therein. And in order that they may judge of it, we send you inclosed our Computation of what these Repairs & Buildings will cost which are most necessary. We hope to make agreement for some thing under the Estimates tho’ we are confident they cannot be undertaken to be well done much under the Computations. All we can say is that we will do our best to have them done after the best & cheapest manner, & hope soon to have the Boards commands, as the Season now is for Building. There are several other Repairs & Buildings unavoidable , of which we are preparing Estimates which will be soon sent you. Captain Middleton who is the Farmer of Meldon Park is very pressing to have the Housing removed to a more convenient Situation which will cost considerably more than the repairs of them where they now stand, but the place to which he would remove is indeed much more convenient, & will be hereafter an advantage to the Estate. We compute the whole may be repaired where they now are for £43.12.09 & he Computes they may be removed for about £90, which we believe he will be ready to accept & rebuild himself. If therefore the Board think proper to consent to the removal we recommend it to them to give the Captain the £90 as we apprehend we cannot otherwise have the work done for that sum, nay we apprehend it will cost some thing considerable more. You will be pleased to lay this before the Board as soon as Convenient as we would be glad to have their early Commands & We are
Yours etc
