Letter – Richard Seymour to Nicholas Walton – 30 Sep 1753

                                                         				Aldborough   Sept 30th 1753

Sir  

      As the Board of Directors for Greenwich Hospital did some time agoe give orders for the payment of the Annual Fee Farm Rents due out of the Several Estates of the late Earl of Derwentwater in Northumberl’d. lately belonging to his Grace Algernon Duke of Somerset and now to the Right Hon: the Earl & Countess of Northumberland which Rents Lord Northumberland apprehended (in consequence of such Orders) would have been paid before this and therefore desires you will immediately pay the same, and as to any doubt you can have of the Justness of the demand to the Rent due out of the Manor of Langley such I believe will be removed by applying to Mr. Haywood at Northumberland House London who has orders to shew you a Grant from the Crown of that very Rent.  Your Answer by the return of the Post will oblige  Sir,    

      Yours etc  Rich’d Seymour
