Whorlton –
Friday 23 March

My dear Father.

The Farmer would not reduce the price of the poney so I had to buy him at the 20 £. I must get a bridle – saddle and sheet and Morley <1> reckons that at about 5 guinea’s at least, but they may be more. However as there is going to be a great sale near here in a few days, we may be able to get some a good deal cheaper. This day is particularly dull and wet, and indeed we have not had a really fine time day for some time.

Your affect son
Charles Talbot

1. Morley Headlam (b. 1822), magistrate and land agent, older brother of Rev Arthur William Headlam (1826–1909), clergy and Charles's private tutor.
