FRIDAY 24th FEBRUARY 1888

Writing out report on Cottages at Boundary for Thacker and Cull.

Mr Mottram over from Waterhouses - had tea with us. Cannot settle Oakamoor valuation. Mr Lees will not have the hay at 10 tons and will not take it unless weighed. Mr Mottram says Mr Woodisse will not have it weighed so I told him then to do the best he could for his client as his decision on the part of Mr Lees was final.

If I could get out my machine for testing the weight of hay and get it accurate, such disputes could not occur.
