Chippenham <1>
May 30. 1822
Dear Sir,
As you kindly allowed me to take my choice of two Weeks for coming to Town, I have deferr’d writing till I could arrange my Business at home with the most convenience – I now beg leave to say, that I hope to wait on you next Thursday, the 6th June at 12 oClock – Having many Subjects to discuss relative to the present & future advantage of the Estates, I hope it will be convenient to you to see me on Friday also, – I have the last year’s Account balanced & ready to pass & altogether, it would probably be more than would be pleasant to you to go through in one Morning –
I remain Dear Sir
Yr Obliged & Obedt Sert
