To Mr Darwin in Grays Inn						March 6 1759

Sir

I Rece[ive]d your Lre of the 1st inst & below you have the best answer I can give to your Queeries . . . . which I wish may be satisfactory.

1st . . . . . I find Jos. Musgraves judgmt for £600 & three years intrest was to be paid by Guys Hospital as appears by the inclosed acco[un]t, wch I desire you will not fail to return me, I do not doubt but the money was paid accordingly

2nd…… Mr Geo. Allgood charges in an acco[un]t with Sir Wm Blackett £113 4s 6d paid  the Ex[ecu]tors of Wm Story the 10th July 1723, being the Remaind[er] of the Principal & intrest due on that Judgm[en]t, but I never saw any Vouchers to his acco[un]t

3rd . . . . . As to Sir Jno (John] Withams statute staple, I find by the following Entry in old Sir Wm Blacketts books that it was discharg’d out of the Purchase money for Kenton in 1689,  Vizt Febry 23. 1688/9 By Sr W[illiam] Blacketts bill on Millir & Willel payable at 3 days sight to John Douglass on order for £210 to pay off the Statutes & Judgments upon Martin Fenwicks Estate. £170 to Sir John Witham & £40 to Mr Blanche, & all those Judgments I doubt not but will appear to be satisfied on examining the Courts, wch I believe was done by Mr Denton in 1746 to remove the Objections then made by Mr Booth

4thly. . . As to the two annuities of £36 each to the two Brothers, I hope there can be no delay on that acco[un]t, whether any declaration of Trust has been executed by Eden & Atkinson or not wch I can give no manner of acco[un]t of, if there should, you must let me know f[ro]m the Deeds where they lived &c that I may endeavour to find out their Representatives, But I have been almost 32 years concern[e]d in the Family as Recorder & General Accomptant  & I never knew any Payment on Demand made for these annuities or for any intrest of the aforesaid Judgm[en]ts or any of them, & I do not know of, or believe there is any incumbrance on Kenton Estate.						I am &c	JR
