This lately let at will at a fair and full value. His Grace should pay the Tenant what he has given for the dung and oblige him to leave all the dung on the premises when he quits the farm, and as he can hold at will for 3 years it would br proper to make a short memorandum obliging him to repair to leave all dung not to cut any hedges but of 12 years growth, to spend all hay and stover on the premises and not to break up any inclosures.

Acre per. Measure which is not much above 6s 0d per. estimation and the common meadows included besides the advantage of the Leys in Common not estimated into the quantity in the whole I think him so good a tenant that I should advise it to be let to him at £90 per. ann. or at most £92.
