Blackett of the 4th part, If these writings are not part of what was sent Mr Blackett the 30 Xber last with his Marriage Article, I Know not where they’l be found for I am very sure they are not here, & Mr Wilkinson, & Mr Allgood both say they have them not nor can give any Acco[un]t of them. Mr Allgood is the most likely to have them, I have desired him to examine narrowly for them. 

      Mr Wilkinson is very ready to joyn in Conveyances for Settling Mrs Blackett’s Estate, which I signify to you by Mr Blackett’s order.
