Letter Reads- Farm agreement forms should be printed in town. Subscription list for Eaton organ; more for music than learning; I believe not one gave the vicar d. to help build the school but many put every obstacle in his way. Have not yet ascertained exact amount of land offered by Elger, but no frontage to Mill Lane, only to a back lane. Possibility of buying a piece to pass right through from Mill Lane to Lurke Lane; a thoroughfare from Luke Lane to a similar lane to use. Wool chamber at Park farm is on same plan as Holkham ganaries, in the roof of what is now the farm wheelwright's shop. Use of granary. We hear so much of the perfection of Norfolk management, I am surprised at Mr. Blomfield's candor in admitting they are such slovens as ever to lay by grain in bad condition; drying kiln only safe remedy. Objection of concentrating weight in centre of building. Stephens' plan of wood management; advises experiment on small scale.
