Transcript letter from Joseph Harrison to James Lightboun

8 Dec 1729

From: 1729 To: 1729

Transcript letter from Joseph Harrison to James Lightboun Not having reced any answr to my last makes me doubt whether you reced it. I proposed Mr Joshua Wheeler as a Security of whom Mr Cawn can give account to having lived in the same parish. Wee are informed that for the Land in Bedford field there must be no more Sheep kept than 113 but there may be some kept in Kempston and Fenlake but twill not be worthwhile to keep a Shepherd for them. If you are acquainted with Mr Cater he will give you acct of him and so indeed will anybody that knows him. Mrs Stratton desires you would Lett her know how to go on if you don’t like the proposed Security you must have what you do like. I shall say no more at present.
