Tuesday 5th August I had the Corn left growing by Rochester on Dilston Mill Ground, valued by Mr Hunt, on the part of the Hospital & and another person on behalf of the new Tenant, for which they decide that he is to pay £52.10.0 according to the reputed measurement of the Land, but to be increased or diminished in due proportion should it be found on measuring it afterwards to be more or less than is expected. Received also from Ridley Hall the new Tenant £15 as agreed upon for making the Hay & doing their work upon the Land, & for the Clover seed sown by Rochester. The outlay for the work is £6.15 leaving a balance of £8.5 in our favor, which together with £52.10 for the Corn makes £60.15.0 so that after paying Rochester £40 for quitting the Premises we are still £20.5 into pocket. I went today through the Woods of Snokoe, which the Woodmen are employed in thinning, & the extensive plantation of Dipton where the ground replanted last winter is now looking very promising, almost every plant having made a fresh shoot since the last rains. Returned through the Woods of Dilston Park, & found Mr Green the Architect here examining the progress of the House. They are about erecting the Spouts & proceeding with the Slating.
