R3/4809

Letter Reads- Sends certificates for the Duke to sign to enable Miss Sawell and Nicholson to recover income tax deducted from annuities. Saw Roper who said Hulatt was unreasonable about private road at Oakley and wrong in claiming about 2 feet of fence was his. Rogers suggested that the Duke might as a matter of favour give him the bit of land and satisfy him. Bennett mentioned this to the Duke who said he would give it to the old man as a favour but not as a right. Sending Ashwood's deeds by coach tomorrow. He is soon going to America and would like to complete. Mr Wm Bennett has agreed to 20 years[tenancy]"an odd way of proving I was requiring too much rent"
