Saint Ninians Fair

Attended at St Ninians Fair, at which great numbers of Sheep were offered & bought to be taken into the midland Counties at good prices.  The Farmers on the Borders are in good spirits for though Corn has sold low, they have been well paid by their live Stock and Wool.  I wish the Hospitals Tenants on the Tyne had the same cause of rejoicing.  I saw there several of the Tenants of the Northern Estates & fixed with them on Tuesday the 22nd of October as being a suitable and convenient time for receiving their Rents at Belford, engaging to come down a few days previously, to go over the Estates & look into some matters which the Tenants require.  Received a Letter from Mr Benjamin Johnson, asking for particular information respecting the Estates of Newtonhall & Whittle, understanding that they are likely to be sold.  Forwarded his letter to the Commissioners.
