| Content Description | Sends Harley a bill for £500 which he received from Mr Gace last Wednesday at Newark; asks to know of its safe arrival, and adds that he intends to send Harley a bill from his collection soon; comments that he had told Mr Dixon that he felt Harley should be the purchaser of the leaning trees [at Welbeck], or at least have the right of refusal, and then he [Harley] could choose the 'Chapman', and clear Welbeck woods of the other workmen; believes that the last contract had at least 3 years too much time; there might also be other advantages with regard to the park fence.
