Dear Mr England

I have seen Mr Haines concerning the Tithe Map. He is quite willing to give it upon receiving a notification from Mr Burch, Cathedral Exeter, who is the Ecclesiastical Authority under the Bishop. So that if the Chairman of the P.C. will draft a letter for you it only requires a penny stamp to have it handed over.
Yours truly
George Winter
