Discusses possible purchase of land.
Has not received any replies from the parties.
Either he or his son will value the property after JH’s return to Alford.
Sends a plan of the Anwick Estate: will value it on Saturday next (23 June 1860).
Will purchase it for CD at the auction on 25 June if he can secure favourable terms.
Places affair [land purchase] entirely in JH’s hands. Son [William?] will visit in a week or two.
Sorry he did not meet CD in London.
Discusses investment in land as compared with railway shares.
Thanks correspondent for gift of game and sends remembrances to his father [John Higgins]. Would like to visit Alford and Beesby, but fears he will have neither time nor strength.
