Re article by Lord Houghton in the Fortnightly Review on 'The Position and Practice of the House of Lords' (published Jan. 1872).
27 St. James' Street. - Wishes to confirm that the 'several presses... in the different rooms' at Holly Lodge are included in the fixtures, as does not see them on the list; hopes the executors will not remove them 'or I shall get into trouble with his Lordship [Lord Airlie?]'. Letter written by William Banting..
27 St. James' Street. - Giving Lord Airlie's full style. Letter written by William Banting..
3 Fredericks Place, Old Jewry. - Has had no direct instructions from Lord Airlie, and knows nothing of the letter 'to which yours just received refers'; if they send him the ingrossment of the agreement he will 'wait upon Lord Airlie with it'.
27 St. James' Street. - Asks whether the £100 is to be paid by Lord Airlie, as his solicitor has got the agreement. Letter written by William Banting.
3 Fredericks Place, Old Jewry. - Has read the abstract of power of attorney from Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan and his wife; fears it does not authorise giving an indemnity; if Lord Airlie should agree to accept such an indemnity, perhaps a Deed of Covenants could be made out in paper and sent to Sir Charles and his wife to sign.
3 Fredericks Place, Old Jewry. - Asks them to send an order for Lord Airlie to take possession of Holly Lodge when they send the agreement to be signed by him.
15 Bedford Square. - Has received the enclosed [letter from William Ambrose Shaw, now O.18.6/59], and has let him know that George will answer it. Notes in a postscript that Shaw seems to suppose that 'Lord Airlie is our tenant'.
3 Fredericks Place, Old Jewry, E.C. - Has just received a letter from Lord Airlie saying he is leaving town and will not return until the 11th, and suggests sending the Assignment to be signed; since this would not meet Ellis's views, expects he will think it better to wait until Airlie returns.
Wycombe Lodge, Kensington, W. - The rent for Holly Lodge must be paid to John Broadhurst; does not know why Ellis has forwarded his letter to Lord Airlie's solicitors.
3 Fredericks Place, Old Jewry, E.C. - Sends a draft for the £1000 in full signed by Lord Airlie, who will be grateful for a receipt from Lord Macaulay's executor [Thomas Flower Ellis]
3 Fredericks Place, Old Jewry, E.C. - Enclosing a draft for Lord Airlie's proportion of the Property Assured Taxes to 20 March.
