Dear Sir,

I have received about £90Ì as Deposits and shall have Bills at 6 months for the remainder in the Course of a few days. if you will let me know what Sum you require I will endeavor to let you have it at once, without applying to the Bankers who would require 7 or 8 p^r Cent. I dare say I can get it at 5 p C^t from a Cheat ¹.

I am Dear Sir Yours obliged
West Awdry.
