| Title | J G Barnes to Mary Brocksopp: I was sorry to hear so poor an account of your health; I hope you will not neglect to take the best advice; at the rent day I allowed the tenants 5% upon a year's rent and told them I did not consider myself pledged to allow it the next half year; corn still continues famously low; I hear that Mr Harrison is infirm; Mrs Harrison is receiving about £96 per annum from your brother's estate, £40 from you and I hear the field is let for £15, making a total of £151 per annum. |
