Monday 29th July 1833

Received the Boards Minutes to the 20th Instant.  The various subjects on which it contains directions, shall receive my immediate attention.  The Thrashing Machine at West Rattenraw has been disposed of by its owner and removed by the purchaser, the present tenant may therefore erect a new one if he chooses, under the guarantee, of its being taken off his hand by valuation at the end of his lease.  Prepared certain papers and accounts to take to Alston in the morning.  Rode over the Dilston Estate and examined the new Gates made at Dilston Barn.  Also conferred with the Woodkeeper respecting the best wood for the buildings that may be erected next year, the best situation for keeping it under cover through the winter.
