Dear Sir,

I have paid M^r Blomfield ¹ your own & M^rs Talbots ² Subscriptions to the Schools – £10.–

and your annual
donation towards	s15/–
warming the Church

though you did not expressly mention it in your Letter as I have paid it before for you. I have also paid (probably for the last time) your usual Christmas box – ^s10/– to poor old Hayward ³ who is now bed-ridden – I have remitted £150 to your Account at the Bank of Scotland ⁴ at Edinburgh as you request – tho’ Croker ⁵ is still something in arrear as usual I presume you have not yet decided any thing about the Living of Lacock.

I remain Yours obliged
West Awdry.

H. F. Talbot Esq.
