Chippenham ^<1>

14 May 1858

Dear Sir,

I find from M^r Stephen Fussell ^<2> that the Land w^ch stands in his name on the Parish Map now belongs to his Brother who resides near Bradford – He will take the earliest opportunity of mentioning your wishes to him and let me know the result – I have paid £500 to your Account at the Melksham ^<3> Bank

I am dear Sir Yours obliged

West Awdry

H. F. Talbot Esq.
P. S. My Brother will speak to M^r Starky ^<4> about a Lease of a portion of the field you spoke about for M^r Cotterell –
