Chippenham ^<1>
10 Feb: 1859

Dear Sir,

I can pay over £300 if you will favor me with your directions.

The Shrewsbury Case has not been finally disposed of – The Verdict was Entered for Lord Shrewsbury ^<2> Subject to the opinion of the Court above – I do not think the Arguments on behalf of the Defendant have been fully heard –

Your obliged Sv^t
West Awdry

H F. Talbot Esq
M^r Latham who lives in “InWood” ^<3> tells me his Wife is dangerously ill and that she is ordered Wine &c by M^r Crisp the med^l man at Lacock – I ascertained from him that M^r Blomfield ^<4> has been helping him but I think you will excuse my mentioning the case to you –
