I have had difficulty in obtaining the rent from the Lessee of Throckley Quarry and was obliged to employ Mr Fenwick lately for the purpose.  As he is an idle fellow and not likely to do any good I thought it best to get rid of him, and have at length procured his relinquishment of the Contract, through Mr Stephenson of Throckley.   I have in consequence, made an agreement for the Quarry with a party likely, as I expect, to make a better use of it, subject to the approbation of the Board, copies of which I herewith send.  Was engaged in the Office and among the Workmen by the River.
