Letter Reads- As the keepers kill leverets the accounting for them must be in great measure left to their own honesty, just the same as rabbits or any other game. He does not think there is any fear of killing too many. They cannot dispose of them in any way without the knowledge of their men and he does not think they will risk their situation in that manner. He cannot think of any better control than sending all to the Abbey to the House Steward, or, in his absence the Housekeeper. "If anything was to be amiss it would soon come out one way or another".
