To Mr Richard Horne Ravensworth Castle 23rd July 1758
Sir
In Obedience to the Board’s Commands, we have made Estimates of the Expence of Several Repairs and Buildings in the Derwentwater Estate which appear to us Necessary and Unavoidable, and in Consequence thereof we have made several Agreements an Acct. of which we send you Inclosed, Which be pleased to lay before the Board.
You will observe there are four setts of new Housing to be built at Hartburngrainge, Needlesshall, Scremerston & Outchester agreeable to the proposals made at the time of letting, which we have brought into as Narrow a Compas as we could and probably not so much that something more may be afterwards thought necessary however we think it right to do no more at Present.
What other Repairs are proper we have under our Consideration but we wish not to do much more this year than what is Contracted for. We are
Sir Your Most Obedt. Servts.
N. Walton H. Boag
