TitleLetter from Smithers - awaiting reply of his of 22 November anxiously. Executors delayed their meeting from week to week - decided to sell what land is necessary in front without exactly desiring it. Mrs Longsdon has probably written to him. If William agrees to writer's purpose - appropriate Upper and Lower Riotts and plantation to the investment of £1000 unless William would take a mortgage in preference which would be expensive because need deed, or does William prefer to take whole and grant a mortgage for £1000 at 4%. Writer would give Mr Harrison a bond for William on receiving £500. Sum will not completely meet needs but what more writer requires is only for the year. Ashby's family and Thornhills at Stanton distress by accident to Revd. Bache Thornhill when Edward Ashby's gun unintentionally discharged while out shooting together at Stanton - contents lodged in Mr Thornhills' head behind ear - at one time thought out of danger - relapsed - died on Tuesday after lingering a fortnight. Much obliged by present of apples though very much damaged and very badly packed.
