Dear Sir,

I left some Specimens of the Iron Ore which I brought from Seend last Evening, with Wilkins ² – and I send herewith one which came from Westbury – I spoke to the Agent at Secud, M^r May ³, who will be happy to shew you all in his power if you will let him know when you are likely to drive up – He lives at the top of Seend Hill, not far from the Bell^x Inn.

I am Dear Sir Yours obliged

West Awdry
