Dover House, Roehampton, 27 Oct. 1859. - Encloses Mr Broadhurst's receipt. Shaw 'appear[s] to be one of the few who have understood this puzzling income Tax!'

Receipt dated 18 Oct. 1859, for money received from W. A. Shaw as executor of 'the late T. A. Shaw Esqre': half years rent to Michaelmas for Holly Lodge, 'after deducting Income Tax'.

Wycombe Lodge, Kensington, W. - Lord Macaulay held a lease of Holly Lodge from Shaw and his co-executor, Mrs Thomas Shaw; half-yearly rent is to be paid at Lady Day to Mr John Broadhurst; will be glad to know what arrangements have been made in the matter. Would like to see Ellis to 'talk over the position we all stand in'. Mr Broadhurst rents from the leaseholder, Captain Terry. Wonders if Lord Airlie could be persuaded to purchase the lease from Captain Terry or his family, 'and so release all the intermediate parties which to you & to us as Executors is not very agreeable'.

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'.

Wycombe Lodge, Kensington, W. - Lists the papers he has relating to Holly Lodge, which are with his bankers, does not think it necessary to 'trouble' Ellis by 'exhibiting them.' Has always paid the rent by cheque to Mr Broadhurst's bankers; recently made an arrangement with Lord Macaulay that he should pay them directly, but Ellis can send the money either to Shaw to be passed on or direct to Broadhurst.

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.

Large part of letter missing, including signature; perhaps by William Ambrose Shaw. Refers to 'accompanying note from Mr [John?] Broadhurst'; suggests that in future Macaulay should instruct his bankers to pay the rent to Sir Samuel Scott Bart & Co to be credited to Broadhurst's account.
