TALBOT5478

Dec^r 16^th

Dear Sir

I sent to Laycock Abbey to know if I would see you yesterday as I was in that part of the county but found you were in town – I am anxious to see you on the subject of the line of the Wilts & Somerset B^{r 1} and to settle definitely whether a deviation is to be sought for by an Act of Parliament ² or not –

I shall be obliged by your letting me know if you can see me and what time of the day is likely to be most convenient to you

I am dear Sir Very faithfully yours
I K Brunel

Fox Talbot. Esq –
