    From: Thomas Sworder, Luton; To: Thomas Sworder, Hertford “I am sorry to hear that you have been so unwell. I don’t think there is any necessity for you to put yourself to inconvenience by coming over to see about the Public House and the proposed new road, if you instruct How to make the best terms he can – the new steel will be a great improvement to you and not so much good to be derived by Burr’s trustees that I can see. The Chequers is a very old inconvenient house and no way to get a cart on to the premises at the back. I enclose your cheque for rent 373. 0.8 interest 4.13.4 £377.14 – but Messrs Anstee & Co. hope you will hold it to the end of the week as they do not wish to overdraw, if possible to prevent it. They will send your cheque for last year the beginning of the next month or this. If money comes in faster than anticipated I will if I possibly can send you some money next week. If you send me particulars of the Bank account I will try whether I can help you in finding out whether it is correct. The Brewery account is not made of yet for the last half year. I hope you will get £700 for the Rising Sun if not £800 - Anstee & Co. will claim for the lease and the fixtures. You cannot give possession on the completion of purchase as asked by Trethewey Cumberland has sold some property by auction for the Midland Company but Mr.Trethewey buys all the land about here for the company. The Royal Oak Leagrave stands in the valuation at £350. If you could get £450 it would be well sold. Cumberland does not act for Sir E. Filmer but Sir Edward’s agent told him that Sir Edward was open to purchase any property at Leagrave to lay out the money received of the Midland Railway – the Estate is settled and the money must be invested in land. Believe me.”
