Dear Sir,

I have remitted £100– to Mess^rs Coutts & C^{o 2} & £150 to Melksham Bank The Bills for the Timber money will become due on the 18^th July after which I will send you a Statement of the Sale &c.

I am sorry to say that Farmers Cave & Croker are still defaulters but I hope to see them tomorrow –

The present and last seasons have no doubt been trying to them but I rejoice in the beautiful rain now falling.

I remain
Yours obliged

West Awdry
