Letter Encloses copy of letter to Herts Reformer to say the Duke has not ceased to preserve game nor discharged all his keepers but has reduced the number of men and divided his greyhounds among tenants likely to accept offer to course hares on their farms. 4ft is too deep for draining surface water, as it would drain too slowly for maximum benefit. Can go to Lord Torrington's any day to suit him from 13-16 May, Scotch fir will fetch 1/- per foot and larch 1/2d per portion. It is in demand for building in Luton but not Bedford as the town is over built.
