Letter from Thomas Greener, Etherley to William Hepple, Bishop Auckland

Mary Hackworth re signing deed. ‘her friends are very anxious to have her signature to the deed as soon as possible as they have reason to suspect the designs of a person who has lately visited her who is not unlikely to influence her mind against the arrangement’ [the following crossed out] ‘her friends know there is an arrangement to be married’ [Mary Hackworth never married].
