Chippenham ^<1>

22^nd Jan^y 1829

Dear Sir,

There are about a dozen Elms that ought to be taken down this Winter (6 at Wick ^<2> & 6 at Nash Hill ^<3>) for the purposes of good Husbandry – some being dead & some in danger of falling – With your permission I will order them to be thrown–

I hope, next Winter, that there will be a larger Lot to dispose of – as half the UnderWood at Taclemoor ^<4> will then be fit to cut

I am dear Sir
Y^r Obliged & Obed^t Ser^t
