| Description | The bulls are a great loss and he will procure two from Jamaica rather than risk bringing cattle out [from Britain]. The well digger is a good carpenter and slater and will try and persuade him to stay. He feels "much pleasure in informing your Lordship that the engroes on the respective properties are very healthy and the stock well conditioned". He will send a model of the well which he thinks could be submitted to the board of Arts and Sciences - it may be applied to various and useful purposes, particularly in the coal mines. End his letter by referring to his brother, Joseph Peters Fearon and stating "the properties of abscentees [sic.] suffer smartly from appointment sof gentlemen that live at great distances" |
