Action is very great and the house in which he lives

is very incommodious and extremely decayed the

Circumstance of his Son's being obliged to go from his

Lodge to the Gate Perhaps 100. times in a Day in rainy

Weather over his head with a Mud Floor under his

entirely wet through twice or three times in a Day

Mr.. Aris's Distance from the Gate increases
<

</

his Labour and fatigue in going backwards and
<
lb

</
lb

forwards extremely whereas if he were so situated as
<
lb

</
lb

to be within sight of the Gate and near it his Duty would
<
lb

</
lb

be performed with much greater case and Satisfaction
<
lb

</

than at present I confess I observe with much Concern
<
lb

</

a great Alteration in the Governors health and I impute
<
lb

</
lb

much of it to the great additional fatigue arising from
<
lb

</
lb

his being so inconveniently placed I conceive that
<
lb

</
lb

every Complaint both from the Father and the Son
<
lb

</
lb

ought to be adjusted and removed for between £300.
<

and £400. a sum apparently of little Consequence
<

when Compared with the Preservation of the Health

or securing the Comfort of so good and valuable an
