I do not mean to complain, however; it is undoubtedly a comfortable one, and I hope will in time be better.

The enclosure of Norland Common, now carrying on, is a most serious drain.

And then I have made a little purchase within this half year; East Kingham Farm, you must remember the place, where old Gibson used to live.

The land was so very desirable for me in every respect, so immediately adjoining my own property, that I felt it my duty to buy it.

I could not have answered it to my conscience to let it fall into any other hands.
