Relating to death duties on properties in St. Andrew's St, London, due on the death of Onslow's father William, 4th Earl of Onslow.

36 Theobald's Road, Gray's Inn, W.C. - Acknowledging the receipt of Onslow's secretary's letter of the 4th with a cheque for 30 punds 12 shillings and sixpence; this has been sent today to Somerset House in payment of the Legacy Duty on the Royal Exchange Assurance Stock [after the death of his father].

Also thanking him for the 'two bundles of bills', one being bills contracted before his majority and still unpaid, the other of bills contracted after his majority and paid by him. Will deal with the unpaid bills and send a cheque for the amount he has already discharged.

3 St. James Street, S. W.- Acknowledging receipt of the cheque for four pounds; cannot agree to the deduction of three pounds since 'this bracelet was made to Mr Onslow's particular order, and it is no fault of ours that he does not now require it'. Know they have 'no legal claim' to the interest, but had they 'known it was not going to be paid we certainly should not have given three and a half years credit'.
