Sir/ As to Mr Salkeld letting so considerable part of his Farm, he has done it entirely of his own accord. Yet as you say he has not let it for any term, that the person who has taken it is a good husbandman & that you think no disadvantage will arise to the Farm by this assignment I am satisfied only desire you will look well after the management of it. Also to his selling part of the straw that certainly was wrong: but as the incoming Tenant is satisfied & you think his good husbandry will make up for the want of this straw I shall say no more: only beg that you will see that a sufficient quantity of Lime be laid yearly upon the fallow Ground. I hope your Father & Mother & the rest of the family are well, & am etc    HR
