Dear Sir –
I have seen the letters you have sent to Mr Cottrell – & he has also related to me the points that were raised in conversation – You are not correctly informed upon many of the particulars – but it can only be explained in an interview. I shall be at Seend again on Friday – and if I can arrange to stay over until the Saturday I will endeavour to see you in the morning (Saturday) if this will be convenient to you Perhaps you will drop me a line – pr return –
Yours truly
William Sarl
