TALBOT4482

Chippenham ¹

11 April 1842

Dear Sir

The Fussells ² are now satisfied as to the £5: 5: 0 having been paid for the Rent of the Grand Pit Plantation from Micas 1834 to Ladyday /38 but they consider themselves entitled to an allowance at the same rate (30s per Ann:) to the present time – and I think so too, unless it should appear that their Father received any Compensation from the Canal Comp^y, as to w^ch I will make enquiry of their Clerk –

I return the Anonymous Letter you lent me, but I cannot make out the Writer –

John Humphrys ³ paid me the 5/– for mending the iron fence at the time, and I will pay Phelps ⁴ at the Audit –

Have you determined to whom I shall remit the balance of your last Years Account and the usual payments on Account of the present Year after your audit which is appointed for the 18^th & 19^th inst?

I remain
Dear Sir
Your obliged Servant

West Awdry.
