Chippenham

17 March 1852

Dear Sir,

I am happy to inform you that I have contracted for the purchase of the Land adjoining Wick Farm – a 9 ּ ^r2 ּ ^p36 at £628 – this includes the piece of Arable severed by the Railway which I thought it better to purchase <illegible deletion> to prevent any further question about the right of road, and you will see by reference to the accompanying Map that it may be advantageously thrown into your Farm. I leave this on my way home as I shall be unable to call upon you tomorrow

I remain dear Sir Your obliged Serv^t

West Awdry
