Hon:d Sir
I came to town last night with very good intentions
of paying my duty to you today about dinner time, but
could not compass it. I therefore take this method of desiring
you to beg the favour of Mr Hawes who I understand is
going to the neighbourhood of Eastwood in a few days, to take
a look at the place and tell you what state the Timber is in
whether there is any which it would be of advantage to cut
at present, and whether he thinks it would be for the advantage
of the estate to allow timber to the Tenant for building an additional
barn, he being at all the other expence according
to his proposal — I do not recollect exactly how much time
there is yet to come in the Lease, you I dare say by turning
to your memorandum books can tell exactly—
I was with Ld Lansdowne to day, who told me he
called on you personally a few days ago but found you
were not at home. With best respects to my Mother
I am, Yours dutifully & affectionately
J.B.
Tuesday afternoon Bedford Row
June 1 90
You have never sent me my Brother's letter as you said
you would. I have taken for getting a print a letter you
desired to see, and have of me long — but
everything is in confusion there to the removal of the booth
