Left Wiseton & passing through Doncaster, full of agitation at the commencing Races, proceeded to Leeds to inform myself of the state & prospects of the Woolen Manufactures, which are closely connected with some important departments of Agriculture, & was glad to find them very good indeed.  Little progress has been made in the Harvest, the last fortnight & even in Yorkshire a good deal of Barley & Beans still out in very bad condition, of those kinds of Grain, as well as Oats, the Crop throughout the Kingdom is certainly deficient.  Wheat is a full average, though in many parts the quality is far from fine. 



Tuesday 16th September 



Travelled from Leeds to Newcastle & reached Dilston by a morning Coach on [Weds 17th. ie. next entry]
