Description | He recalls that his correspondent informed him that Harrison asked for an additional £2,000 upon his security in Norfolk in their hands and Ashburnham consented to it, provided that security was adequate. They had some discourse concerning his lease of Stanerton and was assured of assistance - at each renewal the fine was £800 which he thought excessive and he hoped to have it for less, since the negotiation was left to Dr. Wake. He has a note signed by the late Dean promising to use his influence so that Ashburnham might have the lease to be renewed every four years for £400 and he show these papers at their next meeting. He will not give above £800. He asks that his correspondent will not part with any deeds relating to the security on the Duke of Bedford's Estate.
