Dear Sir,
As I am now collecting the Subscriptions for the Schools, I should feel much obliged if you will inform me, if you will kindly continue your Subscription, and if so whether you would prefer my waiting upon you at any time you may name to receive the amount or to send it to me. Your subscriptions of last year were I believe as follows
Mr Talbot – £5
Lady Elizabeth Feilding <1> £5
Mrs Talbot <2> £1
Miss Feilding <3> £1
Mrs Talbot also kindly subscribed 1£ to the Blanket Society.
I remain, dear Sir, Your’s respectfully
W. Beckett
