Dear Sir,
Mr <Princiger?> the Manager of the Wilts & Dorset Bank here has handed me Charles Chevalier’s <1> Draft on you for £38. 3 . 6 – which he has been instructed to present for payment. Have the goodness to say if I shall make it paid or what answer I shall give – Knowing you are not at the Abbey I have requested Mr <Princiger?> not to make a formal demand there, which he ought strictly to do –
