Thursday 30th October



Rose at six & came to Dilston by Mail. Having attended to Letters & Office business, I set out to make a valuation of Thornbrough Town Farm & High Barns now relinquished by Mr Scott.  In the evening had interviews with several tenants from Newlands & Whittonstall etc.  I required Fewster to give me a written resignation of the Lease of the Haugh Farm, which was virtually relinquished by him & accepted by the Commissioners last year, and desired him to make an offer for that Farm together with the Town Farm, which is to be united to it with the exception of 14 Acres to be laid to the Mill, & 26 to Whittonstall Hall Farm, by way of obtaining a better boundary between them.
