Being anxious to expedite the letting of the Farms as much as possible, I dispatched my servant this morning on Horseback to give notice to the Tenants in Newlands & other parts, that I should be at Hexham tomorrow, at the Turks Head in Newcastle on Wednesday & at the office on Thursday to receive their Offers to be transmitted to the Board, & explain to them the covenants & management which I had to propose.  I then set out & the day being fine, got over the farms of Longhope, Peelwell & Tedcastle, which I had been prevented from valuing on a former occasion by rain.  Reached home at nine at night having ridden upwards of 30 miles, & walked six hours.
