Dear Sir,

I held your Audit at Lacock last Week, and have remitted £110ּ to Your Sons Account at Melksham ². I will tomorrow remit £400 to your Acc^t with the Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh – I am happy to say that none of your Tenants have been affected (directly) by the Cattle plague – There are 32 Oak Trees at Nethermore Wood ³ and about 6 or 8 at Wheelers Wood which might be advantageously cut this Season – Your Son marked some of them last Year and I have been round them all with Brinsden last week – as the Season is fast advancing I sho^d be glad to hear from you as Early as possible I calculate on their realizing about £300 –

I remain Dear Sir
Yours Obliged

West Awdry
