this was sent to William Smith My great grandfather...






Dear sir,

I Have ordered a lorry of lime to be delivered at the topof the road leading to Higher Wormald Farm.
This lime is to be divided equally between you, Mr Hartley and Mr Bracegirdle so perhaps you will make arrangements between the three of you.
In giving you this lime it must be understood that the Landlords are not under ant liability to supply same and it must be treated as an act of grace.
Your fairthfully,

Singleton
