Dear Sir,

John Humphrys ² has called on me today about planting the Land at Nethermore ³ which was grubbed last year – there are about 5½ acres which will take about 17 or 18,000 Trees – I have obtained Heale’s terms which I annex – I think no time should be lost if you decide on planting this Season perhaps you will be good enough to let me hear from you by Tuesday next.

I remain Dear Sir
Your obliged Sert
