Sept: 14th 1861

My dear Mr Talbot,

I am about restoring one of the churches of which I am incumbent and am therefore compelled to seek assistance from my friends & relations, I write to you, therefore, as one of the latter to ask you to lend me a helping hand: my uncle Kit has given me £300, he being landlord of the parish; my parishioners have given me a <2%?> <illeg> which will raise about £56; a great deal for such a poor parish; the whole sum I require is about £700 of which I have got about £500.

My mother has just returned home, she seems a good deal better, but I hope she will not stay at home long as it is so very damp at Merthyrmaur at the fall of the leaf. The garden has been very gay but the stormy weather we have had begins to make it look very shabby –

yours truly

Edward P. Nicholl
