Dear Sir,

On the other side I send you a Copy of M^r Coombs ¹ Letter just received – I am going from home tomorrow for the remainder of the Week on my return I hope to have the pleasure of calling upon you.

I am Dear Sir Y^rs faithfully & Obliged
West Awdry.

D^r Sir,

Fisherton Anger

If the Contract as originally drawn had been executed by the parties I think M^r Talbot could have been compelled to present the Nominee of my Client and after the Church had been full under that presentation by the Institution and Induction of the Clerk, to convey the Advowson pursuant to the terms of the Contract – The Contract however was not executed but is it not the fact that the Negotiation for the purchase was carried on upon the spirit of it? and if so is there any great difficulty in the Case – I am fully sensible that it would be prudent to be well advised before we proceed further and I should be disposed to take Counsels opinion on the Case if I knew what M^r Talbots views are – but in the absence of any information on that head I do not think it right to incur the expence.

I shall hope to hear from you in a few days what course M^r Talbot means to pursue

I am Y^rs
Hen: Coombs
