                    My Dear Sir

                Have you any
                    young pigs just now.
                The one we got from
                    you in April has done
                    well. Killed yesterday
                    and only wanted 6 lb of
                    being 11 st. was getting
                    too big for the house we
                    have for such. If you
                    have any I will take one.
                Although the last
                    one is not yet paid I
                    am sure you can trust
                    me another till I see
                    you. Tell Master Reston
                    if he picks as good a one
                    this time as last he is
                    entitled to a commission.
                Will call on you
                    shortly. I enter
                    the University for my
                    sixth Session on Monday.
                Remember me to
                    Mrs Mather.
