Letter Reads- Mrs. Allen definitely leaving. George Green of Millbrook won't sow turnips (to which agreed yesterday); overreached himself; would not recommend Duke to keep him at any cost. No applications for farm but have 8 applications (named) for farm of like size; all good; Case of a Wilden tenant (Paine). John Readman of Ridgmont is an excellent farmer. William Brimley e.s. of a Willington tenant, now farms under Whitbread but wants bigger place, and to make way at Cardington for a younger son.
