Letter Reads- The two last lots of the Clapham estate are of little consequence to the Duke unless they could be bought at a very low price and the Duke has any wish to save the Park Wood from being destroyed as a fox covert. There was a customer for the Green Farm at 5500 but no bidder for the Park Farm and Wood - small capitalists do not like so much woodland. They would rather not sell the Green Farm alone for that offer but, having sold the rest and having got much more than the value from Mr. Elliott for his lot, they may be prepared to sell the remainder at a low price to get rid of it. Bennett will see Hotchkin, their Steward, tomorrow and enquire. (Lord Ashburnham's estate - the unsold Clapham lots)
