Was engaged for some time in settling accounts with several parties for draining & buildings.  Wrote to Mr Fairless Lee who applied for further time to pay the Rent due at May day last, that having left the Farm and Sold the Crop to several parties he had no ground for such a request.  That my granting it or even applying to the Board for the purpose was altogether out of the question, & that I should expect it to be paid forthwith.  Compared the prices of Trees for planting, received from different Nurserymen, which I find to be very much alike, remitted to Mrs Grey of Whickham her annuity due from Elrington & wrote other letters, but being unwell & the ground covered with Snow did not go from home.
