Bath May 6th 1777
Dear Sir
My wife returned on the third day with all the Writtings and should have wrote to you but two days after my wife came, a Gentleman called on me about the purchase of Farmington. I sent for the particulars which are reported, and Mr Athawes who is in treaty will be a(t) Farmington to view in a few days. As soon as he makes his report you shall hear from me and proceed to finish what has been so long depending. Since I saw you have had consultation with Mr. Sharp the surgeon as there appeard great danger from a matter gathering on the ankle bone but all is well. Our best Compts to you.
Ys sincerely
E Miller.
Note. Farmington is a small village off the A40 east of Nothleach in Gloucestershire.
