Letter Reads- Neither Lawford nor Osborn gave any hope of oak market; very trifling demand on canal. Expense to London is too great; and even Thames has sufficient supply. Duke of Buckingham sold oak from Stowe to railway contractor but that was while the railroad was making; that market now closed. Return for farms with Burness. The Woburn Sick Man's Friend.
