Tuesday 3rd September 1833



Received a letter from Major Johnson containing a copy of his correspondence with Mr Horne the Solicitor at Berwick, respecting the arbitration between himself & Mr Pringle, also information of a claim made for tythes upon the Scremerston estates by Mr Gibson on the part of Sir Thomas Hagerstown, which I forwarded to Mr Hooper for the information of the Board.  Rode to Westwood to examine the plantations there and on Coastley but a heavy fall of rain oblige to take shelter & at length to return home.  The weather for some days has been very unfavourable for the harvest.  Much of the Corn that remained standing was shaken by the winds of Saturday and Sunday, and now all carting is put a stop to by the heavy fall of rain.
