Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

Whittington Club, 262 Strand. - Regrets that the Committee has so far been unsuccessful in their efforts to persuade Mr Oliveira to sign the Bond with the Unity Bank, though his solicitors, Freshfields, had suggested he would do so if his proportion was limited to £300.
