Scope and content
Methley. - Previously understood Milnes's bailiff to say that the land required was a 'corner' of one of his fields; would not have parted with this without Pollington [his son and heir]'s consent, but 'as I now understand your note there does not appear the least objection to your taking off the piece to improve your road'. Regrets that he cannot dine with Milnes on Monday, 'my Ladies only returning to Methley on Saturday'.
