. DEAR SIR, Thnjbury^ Feb. i, 1796. 



ACCORDING to your requeft I have given due 

 attention to Col. Wood's letter, and fliall be 

 very happy if any thing I can fuggefl: may be con- 

 lidered as fatisfaftory anfwers to his queries. The 

 fubjefl: of draining lands, it is true, does not make 

 •any confpicu6us figure in our m.emoirs, as the prin- 

 ciple is now fo generally underflood and praftifed. 



Mr.
