Sir
In Your last to me of the 8th: Past. You
Mention a Herriott due to the Manor of Grove on the
Death of Mr: Pilcher: that when you demanded it of
his Son: he told you the Estate was given, him by Deed
above Four Years before, his Father died. If that be true
he can have no objection to shew you that Deed which
you have a right to see by your Lease. Therefore pleasure
to desire him to produce it: which if he should refuse
Let; him know that you have, orders to Seize for it

I shod: have mentiond this in my last when
I gave you, notice of the Receipt of the Drafts but thoughts
it best to Consult, Mr: Morse on the Affair first. And he
orders you to Seize: on the above demand being refused:
but if the Father did by deed give the Estate to his Son
in his life time the Governors have no right to a Herriott

I thank you for the Information of
the Herriott on Sankeys. and shall write to him about
it without mention of you

I am
Sir
your very hble Servt
