Dear Friend,
It is not much news I have to tell you but I have not seen you for a very long time. I was over at Laxfield last Sunday, I should have come up but I was not very well. Mrs Pulham's sale is next Monday. Brother is gone to London this morning. Frank Balls told me last Tuesday that Mr. Hugman have not above 6 boys. Yesterday day was the first beautiful day and all likeless of one today. Are you going to take a situation this spring. If you are there is not much time to lose. I shall make a move during the summer.
Yours Truly
C. Ives
