My dear Sir

Ten days is quite time enough in which to have prepared the Draft Conveyance of Fisherton <1> & I think it very likely that Mr Combes [sic] object is to create delay. He has not sent me the Draft but when he does I will take care of your Interest & am

Yours truly
W. R. King

Fleet St
2d March 1837

Notes:

1. Fisherton Anger, Salisbury, Wiltshire. WHFT had inherited the advowson (the right to present a new Rector to St Clement's Church) from his father, Davenport Talbot, and held it until 1849. The new Rector would enjoy the income and assets of the living, including the Rector's house. St Clement's was demolished in 1852 and parts of it were incorporated into the new St Paul's Church.
