Monday 13th October 1834



Having examined my Cash Account & sundry papers to be forwarded to the Board, I rode to Hexham to pay my balance in hand to the Bank Agent, & thence to Highwood to examine & value that Farm.  Having finished it & the day being fine, I hastened forward to Fourstones, and got over it also, just as night came on, reaching home at 8 o’clock, to make up my calculations.  Fourstones East Farm consists of very good Land, & is favorably situated for Roads & Lime, but though in the occupation of a man of Property, I cannot report very favorably of its cultivation.
