Dear Sir,

Col. Ainsworth desires me to inform you that, to commemorate the Coronation of King Edward the VII, he has decided to invite his Tenants and their Wives to visit the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Show at Preston during Guild Week.

With that object in view, and in order that you may attend the Show on the day which may best suit your convenience, I am directed by him to enclose Postal Orders herewith value 22/- to cover expenses, and hope you may have a very enjoyable day.

Yours faithfully,
Joseph Walch
