To Mr Wm Alvey Darwin Greys Inn 	London			2nd Nov 1759



Sir

I wrote you by last Sundays post that I had sent by the stage coach wch will be in London tomorrow a box directed to you  wth a deed  for the division of Dotland comon to get Coll Clavering to execute it, if he please; all the other parties having executed some time ago; since wch the deed has been in my custody waiting for the Colls agent to send it up w[hi]ch I have many times pressed him to do, but his ans[wer] was he had wrote to his Mas[ter] but rec[iev]ed no directions about it.  As the Coll has mentioned this affair to Sir Wr and lays the blame of the division of not going forward on some of his agents I apprehend he has been misinformed about it someway or other.  I desired you to carry the deed first to Sir Walter to know what had passed between him and the Coll But if Sir Wr should be out of Town I now desire you will wait imediately upon the Coll and let me know by the return of the post whether he executed it or not for as the time to finish the division is limited to Candlemas it will admit it of no further delay

I am &c JR

PS The Kirkheaton tenants answer is sent up by Mr Kenxel

The carriage is pd for the Division deed.
