Mr B.		Dec 28th 1824

We had a tremendous flood here on Christmas day which has done much damage to the lands bordering the river.  Mr Harbottle on his farm has suffered to a considerable extent.  The water still covers a considerable part of the flat land below the house ... The water was upon the lawn here but I prevented it getting to the house by making a small embankment to the west.
