| Notes: | * Coal has been 19s 'at the Pool' [?of London]. Hopes WR has enough coal for the clamp [?brick making]. Oxen teams working . Brick making late, will delay building; Malt house at Fifield needs inspection. Fowle of Buckingham a tiler, he is better than Evans who tiled the Almeshouse 'reasonable well'. Whoever does it shall do it 'by the great and not by the day'. Old tiles re-used. A ferret house. Hay crop more than enough, some can be sold. |
