From: Thomas Sworder, Luton; To: Thomas Sworder, Hertford "I am very pleased to hear that Uncle John has paid the promised £600 & that he means to settle with you the end of the month. I sincerely hope he will as it will tend to make things more pleasant between you. We are still very short of the needful & would be very glad of £500-£600 even a fortnight or three weeks as by the end of that time we hope to get in some money. Should you have any to spare just now perhaps you would let me know as soon as possible as I want to fix a day for the Settlement of the piece of ground near the Railway Station at Dunstable. I am sorry to say W.Medland met with a rather serious accident on Tuesday. His horse fell down with him as he was coming to Luton - his face was cut a little and was stunned by the fall. He is going on very well, but will be some time, I fear before he recovers his strength having lost more blood than he could well spare. Mrs.Medland wrote to his mother yesterday so perhaps you will have heard the news. I hope Fanny & Tom will have the meazles [sic] favourably PS Rd Oakley told me some time back that he should like to purchase a Field of Kingsleys which runs into his property, but he would not give a fancy price for it. If you wish to sell it would be as well to do so now, as he is in the Humour for purchasing".
