"SATURDAY, Dec 16. (1876) Reading, &c. in the forenoon, went into town with Mr. W. who called upon Mr. Heine. I called at Mr. Waller's Real Estate Office, and discussed the question of loaning money here from England, at 10 per cent on good land security. He calculates that, with deductions for transfer, loss of time in reloaning after payments of capital, &c, a net interest of 8 per cent could be realized. I saw Thomas Metcalfe in George Reynoldson's Store, and Edward Metcalfe of Calvert Houses. He was born in Wensleydale near Moorcock and Thwait Bridge and his relations are mostly in Wensleydale. He was quite pleased to meet some one who could discuss on Wensleydale affairs and people." NOTE: "Moor Cock and Thwaite Bridge are in upper Wensleydale, the next dale to the south of Swaledale." jiminal
