Reports on beef and pork shipments, and mentions that Mr. [possibly David] Russell will be arriving at the estate with hired hands, who should be employed at the lime works. Also discusses the construction of a house for his daughter (likely Lucy, who was married in May 1803 to Mr. Ebenezer Thatcher).
