With our united love to Henrietta & the young gentleman

I am

Yours sincerely

A F Bayford

I forgot to say that we have done all in our power to mention your object to the only persons whom we know of likely to be acquainted with any of the magistrates whose names you sent us. I wish I could report more success but all we have had is a sort of promise from one.
