Anne Lister Estate Owner and Businesswoman Monday 24th December 1832 Mr Jeremiah Rawson came at 9-05. Kept him waiting 10 minutes & went down at 9¼, & had him ¼ of an hour or 20 minutes. Had the coal plan – he thought they could not get 10 acres. I made sure of it; for Hinscliffe could get about 3 acres, all which Jeremiah Rawson had agreed to take (not to pay for what had been stolen & got before) & seemed persuaded of getting 7 acres more. Not to go lower than Wakefield road upper wall. I said 10 acres should be stated in the agreement but if they really could not get so much with the present loose, I would not, of course, insist upon them paying for so much. It was not my intention to take any unfair advantage of anyone. He said I might now send down into the works whenever I liked – still maintained the coal would cost them getting 6d a corve & there would only be 4 corves per square yard – said the collier ought to have as much as the landlord i.e. Messrs Rawson & I ought to divide equally the profit.
