      Farnacres 6th February 1778

To John Ibbetson Esquire



Sir

      Under Cover herewith you receive a Copy of the Draft of the Fourstones Division Bill which you are desired to lay before the Board.  A Copy has been sent by Mr Peters to Mr  Everest.

      I have the particular satisfaction of acquainting you that the Division of the Open Common Fields at Corbridge is Compleated and the Allotments most of them set out and you will very shortly hear from me again on this subject.  The next object to the Commissioners of the Division is the Stinted Pastures and lastly the Commons.  I am Sir

      Your most Obedient Servant

		NW Junior



PS The Allotting of the Field Land at Corbridge has taken place at least Six Months sooner than was expected
