June 14 /44

Dear Sir,

I have sent a Copy of your note, so far as it relates to him, to M^r Collen ¹. I understood you certainly would not want any hay made this Year and therefore sold the Crop at the Abbey to Croker ² a few days ago finding that it was daily growing less – I think you will find you have plenty of old Hay for your own use. I am afraid this continued drought will be attended with very serious consequences.

I am Dear Sir Your Obliged Serv^t
West Awdry.
