Autograph letter signed : Be[a]consfield, to Garrett [Nagle], 1771 Aug. 23.

Noting that he has been anxiously awaiting a letter from Nagle; commenting on various family members and observing that he expects his brother Richard Burke ro return from the West Indies "early in the next month"; discussing the difficulties of growing turnips: "the culture of Turnips is ... very expensive; the growth very casual; and the profit, even when they succeed best, wholly disproportiond to the greatness of the Charge"; commenting on the benefits of growing turnips: "you have your land at once well enriched, and yet clear and sweet. You encrease your stock of Cattle ... You send fat sheep to market in the Winter and spring when they are dearest; You send grass Lamb from the Middle of May during the whole summer ... you may fatten very well some few [oxen]"; recommending the crops one should plant after turnips; remarking that he has always found that "the Labour of men is nearly in proportion to their pay"; promising to "go into more detail" if Nagle "should think in earnest ... of entering into [Burke's] practices" of farming.
