To Mr Chris. Denton Greys Inn London

Newcastle 5 June 1756

Dr Sr

I am desired by Mr Lisle to acquaint you that Unthank is in the Chapelry of Tweedmouth in the parish of holy Island in the County of Durham.

I had some talk today with the Agents for Greenwich hospital about Stublock, who I find think it much better to refer th[a]t dispute than to go to Law for a Trifle & if the hospital write them about it they say they will give their Opinion accordingly. You will therefore ask S[i]r.W[alte]r. whether he pleases to mention the matter & offer a Reference to Sr James Creed or any other of the Com[missione]rs or desire you to attend the board to know their resolution before he proceed any further.

PS If a reference sho[ul]d be agreed to, they must name an indifferent p[er]son, & not one of their own agents or dependants. If they wo[ul]d name Sr.Thos.Clavering & Sr.Wr. name Mr Fenwick of Bywel of [sic] Mr Carr of Etal & have Mr Collingwood for the third p[er]son if the two sho[ul]d not agree I should think the matter might be justly determined.   I am etc    JR
