      Rode to Newtonhall in the morning and met Mr Benson to look over the state of the Buildings & fix upon what repair is necessary on Mr Jobling entering to the Farm.

      There is not much required, and the late Tenant having occupied it only for four years and at a high rent, cannot reasonably be made answerable for delapidations [sic] of buildings, though I must oblige him to put the fences into repair.

      Returned to Shaw House and was engaged in settling accounts with the Tenants and receiving rents.  The receipt was deficient, but not worse than I anticipated. Several of the Tenants promised to make up their payments after the Fair at Stagshaw, about three weeks hence.
