To Robt. Ord  Esqr.                                     			Ravensworth Castle Feb 22nd  1754



Sir 

      The Trustees for Greenwich Hospital having an Estate in the Parish of Ovingham where Mr Bigg of Little Benton is owner of the Tythes he has made a Demand of the Tenants, for the Tythe of Potatoes which being a new Demand we have desired time to Consider of.  As I am concerned in the management of this Estate for Greenwich Hospital I have wrote to the Secretary this Day acquainting him with the above & that you are Interested in the same manner and probably your Tenants under the Circumstances with which I doubt not but you have been acquainted.   As therefore I apprehend some of the Directors for Greenwich Board may wait upon you on this Occasion I thought proper to give you this Intimation & hope you will pardon the Trouble.  I hope you enjoy good health & am 

      Yours etc         Nichos. Walton
