I can strongly recommend to you, as a Tenant, Edward Gates, I have known him above 20 years, he was a Tenant of Sir Thomas Sheffard’s, renting the Mill and a small quantity of land, but was to have had more if Sir T. S. had lived
I connder him to be a steady, industrious, and hard working man, and thoroughly understanding his business.

Mrs Londes is staying at her mothers with Bell and Chora for change of air, as they have had the whooping cough but are now getting better I retuned home yesterday. I was staying last week in Wiltshire with Mrs. Humphrys who I think you have seen when staying at the Priory with my sister some years back a very old lady now 87 years old and as active as a kitten, with kind regards Rd Mansel

Believe me

Yours truly
