Mr Walker of the Railway Company waited upon me this morning, in consequence of a letter I had sent him, which seemed to have stimulated him a little, & came under all submission respecting the repair of the road from Snokoe quarry, undertaking to pay the men whom I should employ to do the work in such manner as I should direct.  Of course, I immediately closed with him & have made arrangements to begin the work tomorrow, and after getting on as far as the quarry, I must take upon myself to do a little farther on the part of the Hospital for the benefit of the Tenants and the Woodlands.  Went to Hexham Market to pay accounts to some Masons et and endeavour to get some arrears from Tenants; in the latter however, I did not succeed.  In returning visited the Workmen at the Tynebanks.
