Description

Thomas Worsley at Thinkleby (Y.E.?) to Francis Foljambe at Aldwark; effect of canal (?) undertaking on local estates etc. "I attended at Malton ... and spake about the Jury's verdict that you was not allowed enough for the haling way, but found it was to no purpose it being a general complaint of everyone whose ground they go through, but the Commissioners did not think fit to alter any but stuck to the verdict. As for your wood the undertakers promist me to agree with you for it, for it seems they were cutting down more than they thought necessary when the Jury viewed it, so that tho' the Commissioners agreed to the Jury's verdict (which they were obliged to do for dispatch of businesse) yet the undertakers and Lawyer Barton for them promist they should agree with you and give what was reasonable, which was all I could do in that case"; re carving of monument "I spake to my Lord Carlisle's carver about a monument, he says if you will let him know how much you would lay out he could then send you a model ..."
