Correspondence from Platt to [?Wm. Adam]: Letter regarding rentals and other land usage

14 Oct 1810

From: 1810 To: 1810

Reads- No final arrangement with Gell - he presses for rent reduction. Have measured (with Bloodworth, Lord St.John's surveyor) measured timber on Robin's Farm & Flint's wood, but not finally settled. Not surprised Lord St.John wants more; no hasty assent, unless he give up some pasture near Gell's house (shamefully alienated on enclosure). Met Lord Ludlow at Knotting; rode over Maxey's Farm. Interviews with Islip's executors, - won't give up at Michaelmas. Possibility of Lord. Ludlow giving up Stevington Park to Tavistock. No news from Wilshere. Clapham
