Mr Chatbourn
In Answer to Yrs. of 26th. alt Mr Treasr.
has ordered me to acquaint You that he thinks Mr Swaine's
demands for Posts & Rails are very large And therefore
desires Your Opinion whether so many are necessary Etc
whether a Bank would not he more proper than Post & Rails
for inclosing the Woods and if it would not be cheaper to
buy Stuff for the two hundred Pales than to fell Timber
Mr Treasurer therefore refers giving his final Orders about
these Repairs till he hears from you what you [..] judges
is most proper to be done for the Service of the Hospital
Journey at the same time send an Account what Timber
Trees on this Estate have done growing and what are fit
for the purposes of these Repairs
