| Title | Henry Stafford at (Barkby) Thorpe (Lincs) to Obadiah Bourne, rector of Ashover - I received your letters from Gedling and Nottingham - I would have written sooner but expected to hear from a young man who I think is very sober and would have fitted Uncle Palmer very well - I thought to have been in your country and to have bought some sheep but your countrymen raise so many rotten sheep that I am now resolved to go for the £20 for the dole - pray let it to whoever you think will be a good tenant - if the weather is good I may see you at Chesterfield Fair and will then seal any covenant you may make with Henry Henstock or anyone else - Aunt Hotherby is still at our house - the Lord has been pleased to take our son from us
