As I may now find occasion to keep above an hundred
horses for which must answer and may use in every
respect as my own, it would be of much importance
to me to find an english farrier who at the same
time that he would shoe or instruct others to shoe the
horses much better than they are at present, might
be entrusted with the expenditure of the corn and
hay of which in other events I shall unavoidably
be more or less cheated.
Such a man by Notman's
account I may possibly get for 20£ a year as I d
not require that he should read or write. He w
apply to his freinds for me: but should any such
person by chance fall in your way do not decline
engaging him. He might eat with my servants
with whom he would not fare badly, but I think as
far as 30£ a year enough wages.
Adieu it is 3 o Clock in the morning I am
writing this bit of a letter and I have not my
recollection well about me.
