Wrote at length to Mr Dickinson at Alston, directing him respecting the fence for inclosing the Plantation along the road near the Inn at Lowbyer, & covering the rock at the end of the house with the earth from the foundations, that it may produce some shrubs & trees.  Had a long discussion with Mrs Thomson of Glororum, respecting a new term of her farm, which I promised to see in the course of the week, & with Mr Lownds, respecting a payment now due by him for Lead, which he engaged should be paid to the credit of the Commissioners at the Bank of England on Saturday next. I then walked over the small inclosures which constitute Corbridge Town Farm, to ascertain its condition & value, the day being too far spent to go to a distance.
