Rode to Hexham to get Cash from the Bank Agent to send by Coach to the Moor Master, as Imprest, proceeded to look over the Farm of Highwood which the Tenant is to quit at May Day, who thinks it hard that he should have to pay for putting the Threshing Machine in repair. Went forward through the several Farms of Fourstones and Allerwash to look into some matters connected with the progress of the Railway & the change of Fences & Water courses in those Farms in consequence of it.   Met the Mason with whom the Railway Company has contracted for rebuilding Allerwash Mill, to fix its position, the size of the Reservoir, the course of the Water etc.
