Wednesday 12th February 1834 Went to examine the Farms at Hartburngrainge and found the small Stable which I had thought it necessary to make at the West Farm, completed at less expense than I had anticipated. The old Man White, who had hitherto been continued upon an allowance of 6/- Per Week with a House & small Garden for maintaining the fences of the Woodlands, died lately, & having looked upon that Allowance rather as a Pension to an old Servant, than as a necessary expenditure, the Wood being fully grown & the fences not requiring much repair, I thought it unnecessary to make any other appointment, but prevailed upon the Tenant of the <> upon which the greatest part of the Plantation is, to undertake the care of the fences, by giving them the Woodmans Cottage to occupy along with his farm, by which £15.12 a year will be saved. I then proceeded Northward & passed Tuesday 13th At Millfield Hill with the part of my family which I had not seen for some months.
