TitleJoshua Wigley at Cliffe House to his uncle Obadiah Bourne at Ashover - I have considered the division but cannot agree that the terms are reasonable - the land at Tansley is only £18 per annum while half that at Ashover is £22 10s so there is £4 10s difference in the rent - besides there are 2 good houses on the Ashover land and only 1 here with £5 per annum to be paid out of the land - I am informed that in assessments the Tansley land pays double the Ashover - the rent cannot be raised as tenants cannot be got at the present rent - how can you think me unreasonable when I offer to take what part you please? - if there is any advantage in having the Tansley land, I am willing for one of my sisters to have it, allowing me half of that at Ashover - send word and I will meet you at Roadnook.
