Dear Sir,

There will be a Sale in the Market here tomorrow of Cattle &^c about 11. o’Clock and if you will send in the Poney I will have him offered by Auction – We need not give any Warranty – and if no more than £15. or £16. is offered I should let him go, John Wilkins ² is no Groom and he had better be sent in by some one who can ride and manage him – I think Brinsden is at Lacock and wo^d bring him in if you will desire Wilkins to let him know tonight or Early tomorrow Morning The Poney should be here by 11 o’Clock at the latest

I remain
Yrs faithfully

West Awdry
