Scope and content
Hallington Hall, Newcastle-on-Tyne. - Charles showed him a letter from Bob about Welcombe yesterday, which gave him 'the greatest satisfaction'; had always hoped that Bob would sell the house if offered £100 000; glad that he is likely to get more. The National Trust 'had dealings with Place' over both Ashridge and Hatfield Forest, and found him ''much better in his ideas and conduct than many other "estate breakers"' who are 'often ruthless both to tenants and to beauty'.
