Chippenham <1>
31 Aug. 1865
Dear Sir,
I will endeavor to get the Purchasers Solicitor to examine the Deeds at Messrs Bolton’s <2> as you suggest. The piece of land agreed to be sold is specified in the Deeds in question – it was formerly held on lease for lives, all now extinct, and I shall have to trouble you for access to your Muniment Room for the lease which I believe is there.
I remain Dear Sir Yours obliged
West Awdry
