Monkton,
Chippenham.
30 April 1864

Dear Sir,

I have remitted £400 to your account with the Bank of Scotland at Edinburgh through Coutts & C^{o 1} and will next Week remit the £2,000 in the same way. I have had the Glebe Land as well as your own valued by a very competent Surveyor – yours is very superior in quality as well as locality, w^ch accounts for the difference in quantity – in the exchange.

M^r Nicholl ² intends to sell the present Vicarage House & Garden towards the cost of erecting his new House – I hope you will be at home in time to decide whether you will become a purchaser; at all events I will take care to let you know before any Sale takes place.

I remain Dear Sir Yours obliged
West Awdry.
