March 9th
1822

Dear Sir

I am much obliged to You for communicating the particulars of our poor Friends death. It was said at Yoxford on Tuesday {1} that Mr Sparrow was taken very ill that Morning, and I was fully prepared for the Event which followed. He was one the the few Men at a very advanced age, who kept up his Spirits to the last, and who retained his Intellect to be an agreeable Companion and always interesting in his Conversation.

A folded sheet, with a smaller piece of paper containing the direction pasted to it. On the back of the latter is written in a different hand, ‘Countess Stradbroke’. The missing letters of words abbreviated by superior letters have been supplied in square brackets.

{1} 5 March. Robert Sparrow died on the 8th.

{2} The last two words are indistinct.

Bawtry. - Ask Houghton's instructions regarding the 'Close of land at Sykehouse purchased last Summer'; vendors difficulties; Mr Dickinson advises it is desirable to retain the land; Houghton should decided 'whether it is expedient to keep open the Contract for Sale or at once to concur in its being rescinded'.

Pontefract. - Presumes Milnes knows about his loss of the brickyard he occupied on a tenancy from Milnes' father. Gives his own account of what happened: the visit to the yard in Jun. 1843 of Nicholas Lee and William Chartrey, who measured areas where the clay was being extracted and where it was only being tempered; the subsequent visit by John Harvey of Ferrybridge, who re-measured the areas; the notice to quit issued by [Michael] Mitton jr. in Jul. 1843, who also sent a bailiff claiming the 'enormous sum' of £558.9.16. Winn submitted 'under the influence of a most diabolical threat of N. Lee of utterly ruining myself and family'. A 'considerable portion of goods' seized were sold under Winn's name, including 'a mare then grazing in Pontefract Park'; this was unjust, and also defrauded the Excise. Has appealed to Milnes' father, with no success; Mr [James?] Muscroft has tried to intervene, though unsuccessfully, and has Winn's gratitude. Winn is 'utterly ruined' and asks for Milnes' help in the matter.

Re burglary at Bawtry or Fryston.

Wheldale. - No point building brick kiln yet; other estate notes. Opinions on Lord Galway and Richard Monckton Milnes' standing for parliament.

High Street, Castleford. - Has been directed by Adam Jessop, surgeon, to apply to Milnes for ten pounds three shillings for professional aid and medicines. Gives particulars of the bill: three of the persons treated are said to have been done so 'by order of Nicholas Lee', and one by Miss [Louisa] Milnes. Notes by Milnes disputing the claims: 'Bilton's ailment was drunkeness - Whifield left six or seven years [ago] - Robinson I don't know who' and 'Lou says not so' (against the claim she requested Dawson to be treated).
