Discusses the recent visit of Mr. [possibly Stephen] West, who is considering purchasing part of Woodbridge's "Glasswork grant." Believes that this will help the grant, as it is already split into portions by the "Housatonnock river." Imagines Flucker has a plan for the grant land and asks questions on the subject.
