Sir,
In consequence of the indisposition of Mr Fuller and the absence from home of several of the Magistrates acting for this Division I am under the necessity of troubling you to request the favor of your attending the Corsham <1> Meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) at 12 o’Clock Unless you can make it convenient to attend I fear there will be only one Magistrate there which will produce considerable inconvenience
I am Sir
Your mo Obt St
Josh Phillips
