Dear Sir,

I can pay over £200^. on receiving your directions – The Wilts Assizes commence on Monday the 25^th ins^t at Devizes – but the Grand Jury will not be sworn till Tuesday morning – Shall I put your Name on the Grand July Panel?

I have just heard that the Road Murder is out – Constance² is said to be raving Mad, and the Father to have acknowledged that she is the Culprit, having committed the Act in a fit of frensy–,³ This intelligence is given me by a Gentleman just come from Town, likely to be well informed – but I do not vouch for it

Yours obliged
West Awdry.
