R3/4781

Letter Reads- To visit Chenies next Tuesday which means putting off Brown's appointment at Willington. Will write to Mr. Puckle "it is dangerous to show any sign of weakness with such customers". The Duke had previously mentioned that Holkham was a bad school for young Platt for Lord Spencer had found it neglected and the Bailiff given to tippling. When he first went Overman had said "if he looks about he will see some good farming among Ld. Leicester's tenants but his Lordship's management is not what it had formerly been.
