Lacock
Tuesday

Dear Sir,

M^r Fussell’s Son ^<1> paid me his Rent – yesterday – He mentioned about the Plantation & it the payment was deferr’d till the measure was ascertained – w^ch can now be settled – I will inform him what you are likely to want for next year –

I find that the Building w^ch we saw from the South Terrace – is a Malt house which two of the Bartons are erecting on some Land belonging to their family, in the Lane leading from Bewley Common ^<2> to Nash Hill ^<3>

I am Dear Sir Y^r Obliged Serv^t
W. H. Awdry

P. S.
I paid to your Acc^t at Mess^rs Gundry’s,^<4> last night – £500–

W. H. F. Talbot Esq
Lacock Abbey
