Shefford May 9th 1824
Sir
We are much obliged by the kindness of your reply to our request
which I received this morning. I will avail myself of the address you have
furnished me with to write to Mr
Cooper—Our sale will take place here at Shefford in preference to London as
there can then be no doubt of the articles offered for sale
having belonged to my father, and we feared by removing them to London, besides
being expensive, a doubt of their identity might exist. We shall be obliged if
when it is convenient to you to send the letters, you will direct them to Mr
Hawyes's, 12 Providence Row, Finsbury Square, as we intend leaving Shefford immediately after the sale.
I am Sir your Obed Servt
Hannah Bloomfield
