Letter from Thomas Bernard, sent from 'Foundling' [Foundling Hospital, London], to Mary Robinson, Lady Grantham. The survey of the Craven estate is completed, but there are 2 reasons for delay as to doing anything about Bracewell; one that Mr J Cockshott's lease does not expire till Lady Day 1798; the other the present price of corn and circumstances of the county, which are unfavourable to any increase of rent.

26 Jun 1797

From: 1797 To: 1797

The survey of Sawley has been made preparatory to the dropping in of the lifehold leases. The writer intends visiting the Sawley and Bracewell estates in August. The deputations [for gamekeepers] will be soon be prepared once Lady Grantham has decided on the persons. Reference to claret.
