I spoak to him of the necessity of having the wool dry and went to Skellicorn and told him the same and I found then none of the wool up for baling. Of course he wants weight as the more pounds the more sheechapens [?]. The wool was then put to dry more with words. The fearful bad weather is all in fault that of course can be taken for what it is worth, it is want of interest & want of judgment and he must next year be better looked after before. I see many things as they are I will do so myself as it will gave me satisfaction in doing a duty I consider much required. It is not by flying visits and long parleys that one can see what is doing at the place like that it is by sticking to it and seeing things carreyed out. I find most people are very good at talking of anything easy for there own way of thinking & comfort without much interest in others. It is needless for me to say more onley you ought to see the force of this. Yours always Archibald John McLean
