Content description
J B O Bayly, to Thomas Batcheldor. "On Monday May 13th I steam from London to Sutherlandshire for a month or six weeks salmon-fishing and very much wish I could prevail on you to accompany me as i fancy your great skill in spinning would cause great havoc among the monster trout (the salmo ferox) of Loch Shin. I propse on my way to London per Great Western Rail to 'lye to' at Windsor for an hour or two." Hopes that gentlemen of the College will give him "a short half hour of their valuable time."
The barns at Middleton are not useable. Asks the College to make necessary repairs. !I feel that I could not start on my trip happily without smoking a 'arting pipe of peace' with you at our friend Johnstons to talk over the heavy fish I mean to gaff."
Red wax seal. Red penny stamp.
