R3/3809

Reads- Proposed division of Poulton's farm; Rootes' share £55 per annum; £20 per annum a liberal allowance of fuel for Rootes; I don't let his rent get in arrear more than 3 mths. The Duke noticed Roote's stock reduced to 2 cows. If he is to quit, he can have no inducement to remain at Eversholt; you know how inconvenient it is; should be provided for at Woburn - possible a house will be at liberty, next the old Cock. No hesitation about offering Ridgmont to Malins, if you and Duke approve; respectability & capital. My customer would not deal for Souldrop - too good a purse for such a country. Glorious harvest weather.
