Dear Sir,

I am sorry to hear of your illness – it will be quite sufficient if you send a Medical Certificate to M^r Hodding on Tuesday next – I intended to have called on Tuesday but was engaged with a member of the Cottage Tenants till I thought it was too late, and I had nothing to communicate from M^r Collen ² – I am happy to say this morning’s post has brought me the accompanying Letter from M^r Haslam,³ acceding to your terms and I have therefore copied the Memorandum for your signature, and heartily join in M^r Haslams wish that “things may now go on comfortably –”

Hoping to hear you are better I am Dear Sir Yours obliged
West Awdry
