Title
6 May 1813
T Barker. "Dear James" - much pleased with cows and thanks him for trouble in procuring them. Cannot think as James that they are an average lot. Want to see him if spare time before he goes to Chesterfield. Mrs Barker informs him he does not go next Saturday in which case they could take him in their Chariot from Oakhill where they shall be and leave Mrs Gardan at 8 o'clock. If on seeing them again James still thinks them an average lot writer will with pleasure return the half guinea.
James will extract good from evil if from yesterday's occurrence James comes to the resolution of so far preserving his temper as not to permit it to risk the displeasure of those friends who have his welfare most at heart in which number writer hopes he includes self.
Wrote above before writer got his note. When he comes down can determine what should be done.
