Chippenham <1>

Dear Sir,

In case I should not be able to call on you tomorrow I write a line to say that I have remitted £200 to the Bank of Scotland at Edinburgh – and £125 to the Melksham Bank – I will also pay Gale and Fortune their bills-<2> I attended a Vestry Meeting yesterday about the Asylum when it was thought that £300 would be a fair Sum to ask for the same when no longer required for the purposes of the Union – This will be communicated to the School Committee but I doubt its being acted upon – as it would be necessary to expend a considerable Sum in addition, to adapt the Building for Schools so as to meet the requirements of the Committee of Council in Education – I have not yet had a reply from the Railway Company about the pieces of land I mentioned to you – I should have called at the Abbey yesterday but I got wet in riding over and it was late before the Vestry meeting broke up –

I remain dear Sir Your obliged Sert

West Awdry

H F. Talbot Esq
