MR. THOMAS THORNHILL MORLAND 135 



which has already taken place between yourself and 

 me, as well as the letters received from Lord Radnor, 

 Barrington, &c., &c., are sufficient evidence of assert- 

 ing my claim to the country east of Tadpole Brook, 

 I do not see there is any occasion for the corre- 

 spondence to be lengthened ; but it must be under- 

 stood that I retain the Coverts called the Furze Hills, 

 and the Httle Coppices,* to myself. 



Yours, &c. 

 Thos. Thornhill Morland. 

 P.S. — I send you a copy of Mr. Calley's letter, 

 which, perhaps, you will like to keep with the others. 



BiBURY, Tuesday. 

 Dear Morland, — I write a line to acknowledge 

 the receipt of your letter, and also to thank you for 

 the copy of Calley's which shall be duly preserved 

 amongst the " Archives of the Hunt." I thought that 

 the Furze Hills, and the coppices adjoining, had, for 

 the last several years, been drawn by you exclusively. 

 I remain, dear Morland, 

 Yours truly, 



James Button.

 Dear Morland, — I think you are quite right to 

 put in your claim to the Highworth country, which 

 clearly belongs to you, as far as Tadpole Brook ; and 

 I am glad you did so. At the same time, having 

 established your right (which I hope is admitted) you 



* Called the Fernham and Brick-kiln Coppices.
