The Mill Wrights Work we know is always tedious but we might have had more hands to expedite our work however we think there are as many hands together as ought to be for the Job now in hand & so long as they don’t loiter we must rest satisfied. We wish Wm. Wilson could have staid a Month at Erthing Hall if it wd. have been of any use to him. Indeed the very relaxation from work must be of service. We are

      Your Humble Servts. 

      Walton & Turner
