Chippenham ^<1>

Wednesday Night

Dear Sir,

I enclose an Address to the Electors of Chippenham, from M^r Poulett Scrope, ^<2> which has just been put into my hands – I hear that a Candidate on the Manufacturing Interest is also expected – so that there will be quite a Race, if the two present Members & M^r Pownall should take the field again –

I am Dear Sir
Y^r Obliged Serv^t

W. H. Awdry

W. H. F. Talbot Esq
Lacock Abbey
