Copy letter from Joseph Procter in London to Charles Reeve in Leighton Buzzard "Inclosed I beg to return you the estimates. I am agreeable to extend the sum to be expended to the named 143. At same time would suggest that contractors generally make their estimates to admit of some reduction and possibly you may find that the case in this instance. At all events I must leave it with you to make the best bargain with the parties employed. As to the situation I cannot of course form any opinion but feel perfectly satisfied that you will select the most eligible site for the erections." Memorandum of estimates - carpenter work and materials - 2 new stables 24 feet by 15 and one 14 feet by 9 feet 6 inches, harness room 8 feet by 6 feet and a privy - 51/10/-; - cart shed 40 feet by 12 feet - 18/10-; - bricklayers re 2 stables, harness room, privy and dung hole - 73 - total 143
