Chippenham ^<1>

June 21^st 1831

Dear Sir

I have not been able to obtain the number of the Houses standing in the Parish of Chippenham in the year 1821, but M^r Bradbury ^<2> has ascertained that in 1822 there were 755, exclusive of 3 which stood in two Parishes, Viz^t part in Chippenham and part in an adjoining Parish. – Thirty Houses have been erected in the Parish since 1822 –

I take this Opportunity of informing you that M^r Michell ^<3> has declined his Practice as an Attorney & Solicitor in favor of another Gentleman, and if at any future time you may feel disposed to grant me a portion of your favors, you may rely on punctuality and dispatch and the same will be gratefully remembered by

Dear Sir
Your most obed. Serv^t

W^m Wilmot Jun^r

P. S. I delivered your Notes to M^r Humphreys & M^r Spiers ^<4>

H. F. Talbot Esq^r
31 Sackville Street
London
