4 Leadenhall St. - Both his partner (Charles Bazin) and he himself have 'taken very much trouble about the disagreeable Whittington affairs', and have concluded that 'they are totally unworthy of any further support & we had better at once take steps to wind it up & so save our money'. Bazin has just gone up 'to see Lawson professionally above it'. Suggests that Milnes should call on Bazin in Regent St.

4 Leadenhall St. - Thinks it right to state that he is not satisfied with the proceedings of the manager or Committee of the Whittington Club, who have neglected to present the half year balance sheets, and have not paid the interest on the guaranteed loan for, he believes, two years; they have also overdrawn their account at the Bank to the sum of some £30. Has requested his partner, Mr Bazin, to look into the matter. If the Committee allows their expenses to exceed the returns, believes 'the only way will be to wind up the concern & prevent further mischief'. Asks if Milnes could write to the Secretary and ask for accounts. Thought it 'right to say as much in confidence, & if you see Mr Lushington please tell him'. Milnes will hear more when he gets the accounts. Adds postscript: the lease of the new premises are of 'considerable value'.
