Monday 9th December Left Milfield Hill & met Mr Johnson at Wooler, who consented on the part of Mrs Thomson & Trustees to take Glororum at a rental of £700, giving up any land which it may be wished to plant, without charge, or of £720, without such deduction, as the Commissioners may approve. Mr Johnson signed an Agreement to this effect, which I herewith forward to the Board. In consideration of the high rent which has been long paid for this farm & the loss which must have attended it, I hope the Commiss. will hold me excused if I take the Liberty to suggest to them the justice of either allowing Mrs Thomson to hold it for this year, at the reduced rent, or to date the commencement of the new Lease from the 12th May 1833 instead of 1834. Met the Edinburgh Coach & reached Newcastle at 9 at night. Found Mr Fenwick & settled an Acct with him for monies he had obtained from parties in arrear of Rent. [marginal annotation:’ Glolorum let 12 May 1816 21 years, rent £860 expires 12 May 1837’]
