Jan. 21st 1868.
Sir,
Residing here where I practice as a Solicitor it would be a great convenience to me If I had permission for myself & friends staying with me to fish occasionally with rod & line in the Avon above Laycock – I therefore would be much obliged to you if you would kindly accord me such permission – & regretting thus to trouble you, remain Sir
Yours very obediently
Charles T. Mayo
