In fair condition, lightly aged, with a couple of creases. Folded twice. Signed H. E. Manning. The recipient is not named. Begins: My dear Sir / I am going to ask of you a favour by which you would greatly oblige me if you have no objection. It is to lend me the Key of the Private Chapel belonging to you in Findon Church, that I may make a drawing with measurements of the East window, which I wish to copy for my Church. I would not ask this by a messenger if I was not pressed by the necessity of getting my work at Lavington Church finished with all speed. He asks the recipient to entrust [McLean?] with the key, and undertakes to return it on the Wednesday.
