My landlord, Mr. Colebrook, has caused a memorandum to be conveyed to me, upon the subject of the paragraphs in the newspapers, denying that he had any hand in them. This inemorandum intimates that an explanation will be afforded me when I return to town. I shall therefore suspend operations in that respect until such return. If the explanation shall be satisfactory, there will be an end of the matter, and Mr. Colebrook will find me just the reverse of what he has heard me described; but if it be not satisfactory, Mr. Colebrook shall find, that though I despise the Old Times and the other paragraph-grinders, I am not about to permit my landlord to republish, with impunity, libellous publications on his just and punctual, and even generous, tenant; but I am not going to suffer him to assist in the work of calumniating me, while my industry and enterprise are really filling his pockets with money. TO-DAY, 11th January, I am going to Oldham; to-morrow, to Bolton-leMoors; on the 13th, to Preston; on the 14th, to Rochdale; on the 15th, to Todmorden; on the 16th, to Halifax; the 17th will be Sunday; on the 18th, to Huddersfield; on the 19th, to Dewsbury; on the 20th, to Leeds. This is as near as I can venture to lay down the route at present; but I think I shall be at Nottingham by the 27th, at farthest. At Leeds and at Sheffield, I shall probably stop more than a day. The weather here now is clear ground and hard frost. Hitherto the winter has been severe, and I think there is every likelihood of its continuance. However, my ten men and boys, with two maid-servants, at the Farm, have I HAVE growed this year, a pretty got plenty to eat and drink and to burn, large quantity, from the finest and and to keep them warm in the night; truest plants that I ever saw.
