| Content Description | Mentions he only received Harley's letter by the last post as it was delayed in London; refers to the demand made on Harley on behalf of Mr Calton for 10 years augmentation to the vicarage of Worksop; believes this to have been voluntary from the late duke [of Newcastle] upon taking in Clumber Park; when the duke gave Mr Calton the living of Blore in Staffordshire, which he had until Harley gave it to the 'Dean's' nephew, the duke's inclination to the augmentation ceased, so does not think that Harley is obliged to pay it having never received any profits from the park; adds that he hopes by the end of the month to send Harley some bills via London, although mentions that the wool has sold so badly in the country that most of the Kirkby tenants have not yet sold theirs, and this is mainly how they pay their rents. |
