157 Fenchurch St. - Has credited 25 pounds to the account of Mr Harris of Venice, letting him know 'the contents of your favor of yesterday'. Informs Milnes that he has a 'small stock, in bottle, of choice, pure, well-matured wines' such as 'genuine red Capri, Phalernian & Lacrima Christi'; is supplying these to his 'friends at moderate prices'; invites Milnes to recommend him to his own friends. His cellar is at 2 Botolph Lane, and wines may be tasted there. Apologises for the 'intrusion'.

Venice, sent to Milnes at Pall Mall, London. - With enclosure: copy of an agreement in Italian, 13 Mar. 1950, signed at a meeting of Holme & Co. creditors; the original has been sent to Valentine's brother [in law?] Thomas Thompson of 157 Fenchurch Street to obtain the remaining signatures'. The estate is placed under administration and Valentine is 'liberated from all further responsibility towards the creditors'. Hopes this information will reach London in time to prevent any steps being taken to cancel his appointment [as British representative at Venice]. Apologises for 'all the trouble' he has given Milnes.
