64 Lincolns Inn Fields, W.C. - 'Walker v Sir S. M. Peto & o[ther]s'. Since his letter of 3 Apr. has 'produced no satisfactory result', has issued a writ against Peto and others, including Milnes, for recovery of the £1500 and the arrears of interest; asks for the name of Milnes' attorney.

14 Essex Street, Strand. - Is sorry that Milnes is suffering from gout. Has seen Mr Gibson's managing clerk and learns from him the writ has been issued at the suggestion of the solicitor [William Wagstaff] of Sir Morton Peto and Mr Brassey in order to have a contribution made and to get rid of all liabilities they are under regards the Whittington Club and that there is interest due on the bond from 7 Apr. 1859.

Expects the bill for constructing a railway through Madeley will be before a committee of the House of Lords in a few days, but fears Milnes will not be well enough to give evidence against it.

Will wait to hear from Milnes before he completes the exchange of deeds with Lord Galway.
