Awdry –November 17, 1857
I am desirous of treating for the purchase of some lands on the farm As to the Lackham <1> property. Cuckoobush farm lies is adjacent to my own land, am I am desirous of treating for the purchase of this farm with the exception of field 63 which is widely separated from the rest, and also with the exception of fields 36 and 37 in case they are considered, as I suppose they would be, from their position inseparable from the Lackham estate. The remainder of the farm would be 62 acres.
