Sir

I beg to inform you that I met the man from Devizes in the plantations on Friday and went from there with him to Chippenham to consult Mr West Awdry about the terms and price which Mr West Awdry told me he would write you the particulars if the Trees are Sold and we replant I think Mr Heales of Calne would be a good place to get our trees for replanting as I see he has got a fine large stock of young plants the proper size for planting in his Chippenham Nurserys <sic> and the change would suit our soil very well I believe Mr Heale planted a great part of the present plantation the Ground will require to be well prepared before replanting which I will let you know about before anything done <sic>

I beg to remain Sir your Obet Servant

Geo Wilkins
