| Title | William Barnes to his father J G Barnes: I could not find any suitable draught horses at Darlington Fair; I need 2 to plough the fallow and get the manure from the farm yard; I engaged John Dixon at 8s a week and am to keep a cow for him; I mean to have a daily labourer to take charge of the new horses, of which I hope to buy another 4 at Durham Fair. |
