Mr William Hitchin
Halifax, 14th October 1844
My Dear Sir,
I have just received your note of the 12th and the Bill enclosed.
In regard to my drawing from salary as you suggest, I leave all with yourself, premising that I wish all to be done in the regular way of business, not by asking or taking any favour.
I have also received Mr. Owen's note which you enclose, and shall hold myself in readiness for his week of meetings. Also I shall be ready from Miss Liston's on the previous week, & and hope soon to hear from you of them. With these two weeks, I think you say, the or rather my season will be concluded.
Truly Yours,
James Thomson.
