Wednesday 6th November Wrote to Major Johnson informing him of the Board’s directions respecting the payment of his Rents. Also to Mr Gibson, appointing a meeting with the Gateshead Board Trustees upon the proposed alteration at Dilston, and to Mr Cookson, who now engages to take by valuation the articles detained by his Tenant at Meldon which I claimed as the property of the Hospital - to which proposition I of course accede. Rode to Thornbrough Farm to examine the state of some fences which are not in good repair & which the Tenant considers superfluous & wishes to be allowed to remove, also to advise him as to the adoption of a different rotation of Crops from that prescribed by his Lease, which he expresses himself willing to do. Afterwards went to Shaw House & Newtonhall to look after the buildings there. Wrote at length to Mr Jay in the evening on the subject of letting the farms now out of lease, or relinquished by the tenants.
