Letter – Nicholas Walton to Thomas Simpson – 14 Feb 1758

To Mr Thos. Simpson,				Ravensworth Castle   Feby. 14th   1758

Sir    

      I wrote to you on Sunday that I expected we had a Copy of the Grant of Keswick Tolls, but upon examining I find it is a Copy of the Grant of Keswick Fairs, which you have Inclosed, but doubt it will be of use in the present Case.  In looking over the Abstract of the Title Deeds of the Derwentwater Estates, I find there was a Grant of the Market & Fair to Thomas of Derwentwater at his Manour of Keswick in Derwentwater Fells in Cumberland for Ever, dated 13th July 4th Edward 1st.  But these Title Deeds being in London I cannot come at the purport of that Grant.  I have wrote to Mr Everest this day & pointed out to him where he will find this Grant, and have desired him to send a Copy of it to you if it be necessary.   I am

      Sir Your most humble Servt.

      Nichos. Walton
