saying that he has "forwarded to Messrs Clowes your paper on the measurement of cattle. I must apologise to you for not having at hand the table of figures to which it refers. Will you therefore forgive me for asking you to copy out once more from your work such figures as you wish to have inserted and to send them to Messrs Clowes ... who have received instructions to print them. Will you be so good as to give me for my own use your opinion upon mangold wurzel as I shall have occasion to mention it and shall be glad of the aid of your experience.

I am thinking of trying it against turnips with sheep this year while you make the trial with beasts. I think you have shown your favourable opinion of what we are doing as a practical farmer by the part you take in our proceedings. For my part I would always much rather print than speak ....", 3 sides 8vo., Pusey, Wiltshire, 9th August
