To Mr John Fenwick in Robert's Place York

17 March 1758

Sir

In ans[we]r to your letter of the 13th, to wch you had not set yo[u]r name; If all other matters can be got settled as to the Title I presume Mr Sparrow will not refuse to convey at mayday on his principal money being then p[ai]d in & the intr[es]t thereof till Aug[us]t wch must be done if no better can be obtained. But Mr Douglas being indisposed I have not been able to see him since I rec[eiv]ed yo[u]r Lre. I have provided the Money depending on Mr Cr.Douglas telling me at first that Mr Sparrow wo[ul]d either take it in at Mayday or take Sr. Wrs. bond payable in Aug. so that I thought it was necessary to be ready. I presume you have a Counterp[ar]t of the Grant to Mr Ward & it wo[ul]d be well if you co[ul]d agree with him for a sum of Money, or as I said in my last letter purchase his ann[ui]ty thay he may convey at the same time, wch will be best for all parties - Please to let me kn ow if you made a settlement on yo[u]r marriage & if Mrs Fenwick is agreable to the passing a fine For tho a Fine might be passed on raising Mr Sparrows money, I suppose it was only for that money.   I am  etc   JR
