Reads- Duchess and work at Froxfield cottage. Ready to meet Swanborough. Glad you proposed South coming to Willington; the old miller being now dead, it is proper to have his advice on state of mill. Palmer's s. has applied to have mill again; told him prob, fresh tenant, must leave at Michaelmas. When South is there, his opinion desirable on damage done by Navigation people. The other tenants, Brimley & Clayton, will have a similar claim, as John Purser, as regards their meadows, though their meadows are smaller. Hing (?) discharged gamekeeper ; White has applied for field adjacent house at Birchmoor.
