Dear Sir,

I hope to be at Lacock tomorrow Morning when I will endeavour to arrange with Sartain & Croker ^<1> – the latter has I think behaved very ill – the former I saw at Devizes last week, and he then expressed his readiness to give up the Land immediately if it was found inconvenient for him to hold it, though he has paid in advance for it

I am dear Sir Yours obliged
West Awdry
