Chippenham ^<1>

21 June 1858

Dear Sir,

I received the Draft Lease and am altering it according to your instructions – M^r Starky ^<2> has promised to consider your proposal, but it is difficult to meet with him at home – He seems quite disposed to do any thing in his power to accommodate you, till the line of transit is determined or it is impossible to settle the Leases

I will see you immediately after I have seen or heard differently from M^r Starky.

I am Dear Sir Your Obliged Ser^t

West Awdry

H F Talbot Esq
