Chippenham <1>
6 April 1832

Dear Sir,

I paid Chas Cattle £8Ì15Ì0 yesterday by Capt. Feilding’s <2> desire – & took his Receipt for the amount as the amount of Wages due to him – Cattle has just now called on me to request that I would write to you & mention that he has not enough Cash (after paying all his debts) to carry his Family home – without he applies to the Parish – wch he is very unwilling to do – He says if you will be so kind as to pay half his Expenses home – viz £3 – it will enable him to go home immediately –

I have therefore written as he requests & shall wait you answer to communicate to him –

Pray excuse great haste

Yr obliged Servt
W.H. Awdry

W. H. F. Talbot Esq
