| Content Description | Received the letter of Mr Allins and thinks that his estate would be convenient for the duke and asks for the duke's answer on this matter; adds that if Kirkby were to be enclosed, it would be right to get all the small estates there that he can for the sake of forest rights; thinks he will send Mr Blakesley a draft and will write to Mr Smith in Nottingham to ask him to accept it; will pay him again when he receives the rents in April; is so far behind with John Heaton, though, that could not do this without the duke's approbation. |
