Content Description
Encloses a note relating to the saddle horses as per instructions from Henry Flanders [see Pl C 1/619]; writes that a buck killed by Mr Streke will be sent to London; has heard that Mr Hubbert is to speak with Mr Morley 'about his Fathers Legacy'.
Notes an error in the accounts dating from the time between Mr Hubbert's account and his [Cossen's] appointment; wonders whether if Mr Hubbert was not a domestic servant he was entitled to a legacy; adds that the house and gardens have been visited by Lady Tipping's co-heir Mrs Archer and her husband.
