The ewes bought from Nairn has lambed the most part of them and on the whole I hope they would pay well. What of them that has not lambed. They shall at the end of the month in ten days more all the flock will be lambing. The weather is fine and it may continue so. Before I bought the sheep I spoke to Braithwaite asking him if he would let me have the money and he said that he would for six month because he thought it was a good bargain and on tow ocasions prevented other people from buying them which was good of him to do and Newton allso told me he would back a bill for the amount in tow bills
