Chippenham ^<1>

10 Aug^t 1842

Dear Sir,

I have sent the Advert^ts for insertion in the Times & Chronicle, ^<2> desiring them to be inserted at intervals of three days, and so as to have them in the two Papers on different days – I should recommend their insertion in the Bath & Bristol Papers also and unless I hear from you to the contrary will get it done the latter end of the Week –

I will write to M^r Collen ^<3> to know what he is indebted to you, and will then afterwards propose a time for examining his Accounts as you suggest.

We have received Notices to make our returns for the Property & Income Tax at Chippenham but I do not think they have been delivered in the neighbouring Villages yet – There is no hurry about making the return but I will bear in mind to furnish you with mem^da for yours as regards your Lacock Property.

I remain Dear Sir
Your obliged Servant

West Awdry
