Friday 13th March
Another good day, a great part of which I passed among the parties of Workmen, employed in obtaining & placing the Materials at the Embankment, & among those planting the waste Quarries at Dilston New Town.
Mr Dinning brought me a receipt from Mr Fenwick showing that he has paid to him £48/16s for Wood, which account I had put into Mr Fenwick’s hands, & wished me to sell him some Scots Firs. I directed Mr Parkin to let him have some of those blown down on Dipton Fell, provided he would pay for them on removal, as I found him troublesome in his payments, & suspect he is in rather doubtful circumstances.
Saturday 14th March
Directed Mr Hunt as to certain new Fences - engaged in the usual routine of business in the Office & among the Planters - but no occurrence of moment.
Monday 16th
Had occasion to go to Newcastle- took some Leases to Mr Fenwick. Settled an account of long standing with Mr Burnett the Millwright for Materials got for Langley Mills & gave Messrs Nairn for those forming the Water Wheel to be put up at Waren Mill.
