Rode to Stublick, Nilstone Rig & Harsondale, having some matters to look after at each.  At the latter place, the Road to the Farm buildings lies through a moorish piece of Land, & having never been formed or laid with Stones is nearly impassable.  The tenant will lead the materials and it will be necessary to spend a few pounds in improving the road not only for the use of the Farm, but of the Wood on that estate, which is now of sufficient growth, & a considerable Lot of which has this season been sold.  Proceeded to Alston & sent for the Moor Master to the Inn, to consult Plans & talk over the business of the district during the evening.
