Remainder unpaid, . : : 



We have frequently adopted the system of selling the thinnings by 

 tender on this estate, and in some instances it was found to answer very 

 well. We mark the trees, and sell them standing before having them cut. 



For this purpose we have printed forms made out, which we fill in 

 with a statement of the lots for sale, and send a notice to timber-mer- 

 chants and others who we think are likely to offer for the lots. The 

 following is a copy of the notice sent to the merchants : 



SIR, I beg to inform you that there will be sold by tender, on the estate of Old- 

 stead, on the 30th April 1868, the following kinds and quantities of very superior 

 timber, namely : 



The timber now exposed for sale is of large -dimensions, of first-rate quality, and 

 well worthy of your attention. 



The lots will be shown previous to and on the day of sale, on application to me, 

 when I shall be glad to give you all particulars. 



You will oblige by sealing the tender, and marking it outside <: Tender for Wood." 

 The tenders will be opened in the Stapylton Arms Inn, Wass, at two o'clock, on 20th 

 April 1868. 



The proprietor does not bind himself to accept the highest or any offer. 



Wass is one and a half miles from the Coxwold station on the Thirsk and Malton 

 branch of the North-Eastern Railway. 



A conveyance will wait the forenoon trains at the Coxwold station on the 30th 

 April 1868, to convey intending purchasers to Wass. I am, sir, your obedient servant, 



ROBERT E. BROWN.
