Scope and Content
Reads- Jones gone back to Bedfordshire. Am apprehensive his plan of obtaining names for the additional freeholds proposed to be made will be ineffectual because too late. On Sat. he wrote to Bray at Tavistock with 30 names of tenants in Barnstaple; Bray was to go & enquire whether these were proper people for the purpose, & then write London. (It does not appear what was to be done in case these were found to be improper people.) But we could not get his reply till Fri; if therefore Parliament dissolved Thurs. the whole plan is defeated.
