Letter Reads- Cople lease again. I think no profit is to be had, & if Duke loses nothing is all that can be said, except that we keep up the connection with the college, and can make settlement for dilapidations Duke spoke about new lettings on Ampthill estate, whether immediate changes should be made; suggest letting them go on for 1 year. We must alter, inasmuch as the tenantry now pursue a course we should not like, in lopping & cropping hedgerow timber most unmercifully; next year 7-year leases with rest of estate. If no change made this year, no notice need be given by Lady Holland. Duke & average cost of kitchen garden. Pair of mules.
