Gad's Hill Place,
Higham by Rochester, Kent
Friday Thirty First August, 1860

My Dear Arthur
  As Mr. Davis (who has bought my house) has not taken the garden in front, which I rent for another year or so of Mr. Cardale, will you and Marcus kindly take charge of the key of a new padlock with which its gate is fastened? If you ever desire to use the garden yourself while it is yet mine, pray do so, freely. I should be glad to think it of the least service to you all.
  I have told Mr. Davis that you will explain the gardening arrangements to him. If ever you have time and inclination to propose to come and refresh yourself here, you know that your father's old friend will ever be glad to see you. 
  With kindest regard
  Always Faithfully Yours
