Title
Reads- Duke asked today if I had heard of the great demand for timber which the Birmingham railway had created; that he understood they bought all sorts & at a very liberal price, and desired me to write to you to say he thought you should take Ireland through the woods etc. & see whether the demand could not be made the means of clearing the woods & selling what might not go off readily in other ways. He speaks from Lord Holland's information, and he from Swaffield, and if I understand correctly Swaffield had been dealing. I hope all is quiet about you. Lord Charles. What has Drakeloe lodge cost?
