Transcript
Sutton Coldfield 7th June 1869

Dear Sir,

We quite forgot when writing on Saturday to say that your Marriage Settlement gives a joint power of appointment to yourself & Wife over the £2,000 and in default of appointment it is to be divided amongst your children equally - in the same manner as your residuary estate.

We assume that the £500 which Mr. Rawlins covenanted to pay on his decease has been received and invested by the Trustees.

You hold, it appears, £1500 of the money and covenanted to pay it to the Trustees on your death.

If therefore no appointment be made your children will take the £2000 on the same terms either under the Settlement or your Will but the Trustees of the former would expect to be released.

How does this hot weather suit you? It is quite overpowering.

Yours truly

Holbeche & Addenbroke

I.P. Evans Esqre
