Trin Coll. <1>

Saturday April 20.

My dear Father.

You told me about how soon you would pay me some more money into the Cambridge Bank, but I have forgotten the time you mentioned. So I should be much obliged if you will tell me again, not that I am impatient, but I want to know, in order to k see how long I am to make the money I have Now now got last. Do you know whether any other chimney peices [sic] at Lacock have beams in the same dangerous position and might it not be worth while to have them examined. <2>

Your affect son
Charles.

Notes:

1. Trinity College, Cambridge.

2. Two days previous to this, a dangerous fire broke out in such a beam in WHFT's library, but fortunately was spotted in time to prevent destruction of the Abbey - see WHFT's account in Doc. No: 08377.
