Transcription[1]

Union Club
March 8th 1853

My dear sir,

Deliver one of the enclosed notices into the hands of Mr Barfoot in the presence of a witness. Coulmer would be the best. Let me know the probable expense of erecting [a] rough cow shed and piggeries at Toothill.

I shall be happy to take the young man you recommended as Trumpeter, & will attend to the other matters mentioned in your letter.

Mr Richards cannot have the land for building. The site required by him is worth from its position a great deal.

As Troop Sergt. Major refuse any appointments you deem too old, & I shall undertake to place any complaints made by the Sergt Major to the Col. in a proper light.

Keep carefully a copy of the notice served on Barfoot.

Ever my dear sir
Faithfully yours
John Fleming
