Chippenham ^<1>

19^th Sept. 1829

Dear Sir,

I have just received your letter of the 17^th – and avail myself of your present address, so write a few lines respecting Inlands Farm – altho’ I am not yet prepared to submit the Proposals for your final decision –

I am glad to say that two or three of the offers which I have rec^d are from very respectable Farmers in the Neighbourhood – The one whom I most wish should be the Tenant, is gone to a large Fair at Reading, but I hope to see him again in a few days & if you will favor me with your address at the end of next Week, I shall be enabled by that time to send you all particulars – The offers from the Individuals above alluded to, will I think, ensure an increase of £50 – p^r annum –

I am Dear Sir
y^r much obliged Ser^t

W.H. Awdry

PS.
I have heard to day, that M^rs Brindley ^<2> has decided upon remaining at Lacock for the present & has let the Place w^ch she <illegible deletion> lately purchased –
