About This Item

saying that the present occupier of New Hall Farm at Gawsworth "is a drunken idle Fellow, & has no one requisite to a Farmer but money which is rather a scarse commodity in that part of the World", so that "your idea of arranging that farm seems the best, viz. to divide it", he comments that "People in that part seem to go a round about way in asking for things... [Robinson] desired me... to lett Mr Tickell have the Fields (& not Himself)... Mr Tickell lets him occupy his lands in his absence so it will probably come to the same thing", he does not find any lowering of rents "in England as yet... In a bad year it may perhaps be now & then necessary to throw back something to a distressed & industrious Tenant", his own "expences must be curtailed... by us who from being over-housed &c are called on to contribute so largely to the publick Revenue", and he will send "a memorandum" about carrying on "my Plantations at Gawsworth on a smaller scale", 3 sides 4to., address on fourth side, London, 22nd December with loss of two letters on opening seal (easily supplied) Harrington was aide-de-camp to Burgoyne at Saratoga, the news of which he brought home. At the time of this letter he was Colonel of the 1st Life Guards, and later C-in-C in Ireland.
