To Sir Wr. Blackett Bt. MP. London

25 Feb 1757

Hon Sir

I am informed th[a]t L[or]d Carlisle hs ordered Mr Nowel to acquaint the tenants of the late Mrs Windsors Estate at benton that he expects they will pay their rents to him as L[or]d of the Manor & th[a]t he will indemnify them ag[ain]st all other Claimants; If his Lords[hi]ps pretensions are well founded; the question is, whether you have not as good a title to the Estate at Kirkheaton, where you have the coll[ie]ry reserved; but whether you have all other royalties there I cannot tell; for in the Abstract of the deed, in the office, no more than the Coal is mentioned. The Indenture of Bargain & Sale f[ro]m Jno.Halsay & Robt.Morgan to Sr.Jno.Fenwick is in Messrs Lascelles's hands Bundle 8 & is dated the 22 Feb 1605, 3 Jac. 1st wch will clear up this matter; if you please to order Mr Denton to look into it.   I am etc    JR

PS  I rec[eiv]ed the Lre from Eaton, by the post, but the man you mention to have hired to cut & lay hedges at Walliung[to]n has not yet appeared.
