Letter Reads- Loton. Meeting Wing at Bedford. Successor to Ireland: don't see how a man can live on suggested salary & keep himself respectable; no good to put a man on 120 per annum in Ireland's present house & expect him to keep a horse; a good journeyman mechanic at piece work can get 40s.-45s. per week. Cost of horse 40 per annum. Kepps bill: unfortunate transaction; public subscription to bring water to Woburn; Crocker sadly misled people; cost exceed his estimate; 2nd subscription made; still deficiency; see no means of ever getting it paid in full.
