R3/2838

Reads- Duke will probably be in Woburn Thurs.; he thinks estimate for cottages high; you greatly exceed what Blore led him to expect. Don't understand why it takes so long; when the moulds are made, why will these bricks take longer to dry & burn than common bricks? Duke has no wish about bells; parish can recast & hang as they please; if not, Duke will. Useful to finish garden if possible, but can't manage £1000. Tween's illness.
