Enclosure letter From George Thomas Helmdon 5th Feb 1758

I trouble you with this with the concurrence of my neighbours to beg the favour of you by this days post to inform Mr Cartwright, that he will be waited on either on Wednesday or Thursday next, with a petition to Parliament, for an Act to Enclose our fields, which we humbly beg ye favour of him to present. I presume you have heard or will soon otherwise an account of this from Magdalen College and their tenants.

I sincerely wish for the sake of peace that this scheme may take, and at present there seems a general agreement. I am in hast least you should be too late for ye post.
