After attending to the Workmen at the Embankment, rode to the high point of Thornbrough Estate to look at some draining that is going on & to mark our some more, but found the Snow too thick in that part of the Country for the latter operation. Wrote to my Son directing him to inform the several Tenants in the Estates of Scremerston & Spindleston that I should meet them at Belford on the 7th of April to discuss their Rents. Desiring him also to have the Roads & fences, which have been made, & to which he has advanced money, measured off & the accounts made up, that they may be finally settled, at the same time.
