Sir

      We wrote you by last Post & now Inform you we have certain intelligence of the Death of the Revd. Mr Toppin late Vicar of Alston so that the living is now vacant and the right of presentation we apprehend in the Commiss’rs of Greenwich Hospital for the reasons we gave you in our last.  What we have now further to observe is that the Revd. Mr Lancaster, Curate at Alston has applied to us and desired we would recommend him to you, which we now do, and desire you will lay the same before the Board.  He is a sober Man of Good Character, & well esteemed by the Inhabitants of the whole Parish, having resided Six Years amongst them & having a small family of Children & shortly to have more.

      We are Sirs    Yours etc

      Walton & Boag
