To Rd. Wilson Esq at Leeds

8 May 1757

Sir

In answer to your Lre of the 4th I wish you could put off your journey hither for ten days, as Mr Robson cannot be here till the 17 or 18th, nor will the Survey[o]r get the Survey of the Estate finished till about that Time, & till that is done matters cannot be so well considerd about laying out the Farms. Wee have for some time been ditching, & winning stones for the Houses, & are beginning to clear the Ground of some whins, that it may look the better when it comes to be let, but wee do all bye Bargain & nothing by days wages. I hope this will come to your hand in time, for I receiv'd not your letter till the last post was gone, I shall be glad to know by next fridays post when wee make [sic] expect you, that I may have Mr Robson ready to attend you.

I am etc   JR
