Chippenham <1>
24 Septr 1857
Dear Sir,
The Government Tables shew that an Annuity of the £3 ּ 3 ּ 0 for the life of a person aged 57 (which I believe to be Your’s) is worth £36 ּ 2 ּ 6. If it will save you any further trouble or annoyance I will undertake to pay the Subscription for you in future and to give you any Security you may require for your indemnity against any further Claims.
I remain Dear Sir Yours Obliged
West Awdry
