Thursday January 1st 1835



      Was engaged all day in paying the Salaries & examining & settling in full all the accounts for buildings at Lees, Whitechapel, Vauce, Lough Green & many others for painting & repairs on different parts of the property, towards which partial payments had previously been made. 

       Wrote to Mr Fenwick, Solicitor, informing him that I understood that Sir William Chator & Co. held a Mortgage & power of Sale over Browns share of Scremerston Collry requesting him to confer with their Solicitor  on the subject informing him of the claims of the Hospital which must take precedence of theirs, & of my withholding from making a seizure at present on account of the sacrifice it would occasion in disposing of the Property, requesting Mr Fenwick at the same time to acquaint me, whether he considered any farther steps to be necessary at present, to secure the rights of the Hospital.
