Dear George
Have sent you 10/- worth of stamps which I trust will reach you
safe. Have not heard from the Governors yet so suppose they cannot
spare you. Have had two wet days, it come rather too soon, having
20 acres of barley not carted, and second crop clovers also I fears
will take harm unless fine directly, have threshed the 12 acres field
of wheat, 9 coo(mb)s for a 24/9 pr 600. Report says G.P. Truman
has poisoned himself but don't know if it is correct.
We think of going to Beccles, Ringsfield, Shipmeadow & Metting
ham in a week or so. Anna Maria is here but a poor dawdle?, know
nothing, too fat & big and brought up to want breaking in. Mama
& all join with me in love, excuse haste, dinner is ready, thence to
driving away as its cleared out and the barley will be dry enough to
cart.
Your affectionate Father
Nunn Chandler
