Friday 20th February



Passed some hours among the parties engaged in planting & making plantation Fences.  The latter part of the day became very stormy.  Sent Mr Hunt over to the Hartburn Estates this morning, to look after the progress of the hedging and planting there, & to reconcile the differences as to ploughing & other matters between the outgoing & incoming Tenants, which I find to be a source of frequent contention, as there are some points on which the old Leases are not very definite.
