Dear Sir,

I will attend to your wishes about Hayward ¹: I have paid £300· to M^rs Talbots ² Account at the Melksham Bank. The change in the political word must indeed be a relief (temporary at all Events) to our members – but has Lord Derby ³ any chance of being able to form a Government, and keep it together, more than he had last year?

Yours obliged
West Awdry
