Mr Boutflower Yesterday at Whittonstall, & he tells me Mr. Watson has writ to him, that he has tried the advantage of having a Limekiln abo[u]t Farnley before the Lds, & desires him to make as near an Estimate as Possible of the Charge every way Compared, wth. the Price of the Lime they now get. I understand Mr Boutflower Doubts not but to furnish Whittonstall Chappellry wth. Lime 12s per fother Cheaper than they can get it elsewhere the Journey Coming within the Compass of an Easy Dayswork, wch. <….>ing if carryed on is thought may advance the Chappellry to a Double Rent within 20 Years. I am Yo[u]rs to Command Signed Will. Leighton Rideing 16 Oct. 1735
