Sept. instead of July Aug st. &and thinks that this can in no case to be disadvanta- geous to you —- He sees many difficulties as to the cow & hopes that you will settle not to bring her. Doulu etc About the garden he will give the gardener orders that you are to be supplied first with what you require for yr family, but after you are fully supplied, the gardener may deal with the rest according to Mr W's orders. Mr Wynne is anxious to meet your wishes as far as possible but you will understand that as it seems quite likely that yr tenancy will only be for two months, it wl be unreasonable to expect the farm & garden routine to be upset for the short time I do not think that you will have any difficulties with our gardener —- he has been in charge during many tenancies & our tenants have always found him most obliging I may mention that I en— quired from Dr Wylie about the price of milk — Mr Hiver must have been mistaken for he says he always pays 3 d per quart— If undelivered return to :- DAILY MAIL DEANSGATE MANCHESTER A.
