Sir
<
lb

</
lb

I have lately received advice that you have Entred upon an
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Estate at Dringhouses which estate together with another called
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Browns Moor are charged with a Clear Annuity of Twenty
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
five pounds P Annu payable to the 4 Hospl. of Christ Bride
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
-well Sr. Bartholomews and St. Thomas the Apostal which was
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Granted by one Mr. Fawcther in the reign of King James the first
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and has been constantly paid till about 10 Years ago
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
from which time the Arrears are now due and that long
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
arrear has been occasioned partly by the mis conduct
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of one Mr. Visey who Owned some part of the Estate and partly
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
from other accidents which prevented its being look's after
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
so carefully as was proper
