Was occupied all the morning in examining & settling with Benson sundry Masons & Carpenters Accounts for the new Buildings at Leas, repairs at the different Farm Offices in

Hexhamshire & other places.  Received the Boards Minutes respecting the letting of Farms, & in consequence, wrote to thirty of the Tenants, informing some that their Proposal had been accepted, subject to conditions to be agreed upon, others, that theirs had been rejected.  And proposing to treat with others which had been left undecided.  Rode over the high part of the Dilston Farms, to see what part of them, the Tenants should have for Corn & what should be left for fallow, having sent Mr Hunt to measure the old Pit Heaps on Bones Farm at Throckley & some draining in Mr Stephensons Farm at Throckley.
