Reads- Financial details. Burness' explanation of his charges: e.g. hay; he bought an entire rick, but was only permitted to send the best to the abbey; also his men had to truss it and drive it a distance in small quantities. Sorry to say he seems as little satisfied with water supply as ever - various proposals, no satisfactory conclusion. Forbes has applied to be paid for board & lodging of Scotch artist employed to take drawings. Wavendon tithes. Milne has asked if we are to proceed with waterworks this year; I said certainly not, send in account.
