Ashby de la Launde, near Sleaford. - Re shooting in Houghton's part of Martin Wood, Timberland; has 'collected the Tribute by my own gun, with some in addition for my own larder'. The birds are 'not as fat as usual'; asks that they be kept separate from the others in Houghton's larder: it is usual now to feed pheasants on 'Indian Corn - which causes the flesh to be dry and insipid - & the flesh is yellow - & soon rancid. Whereas these birds have been fed on Barley and Pease'.
