Chippenham <1>
21 Novr 1860
Dear Sir,
I have remitted £60• to the Melksham Bank and £75• to Messrs Mortlock & Co for your Son – at Cambridge.
I understand that Mr Boodé applied on behalf of a friend, Mr Torrens a rich married Man without family – and I was asked by another friend who knows him whether I thought he might be allowed at some convenient time to see the Abbey – If you wished it I would accompany him some day when it would be convenient to you. but after your last note I rather discouraged the idea.
Yours obliged
West Awdry
H. F. Talbot Esq.
