N. V. H. Symons Esq.,

LYMINGTON,
Hants.

Dear Sir,

Further to our letter of the 29th December we have considered your enclosures which we now return and we are grateful for your courtesy in letting us see this correspondence. We do not think at the moment upon reflection that there is any question of the Bank being asked to give consent, and perhaps it would be as well to await a further approach. When that happens we should be quite ready to consider all the factors involved.

In passing Professor Skutsch may be right about the copyright of articles in defunct periodicals vesting in the heirs of the author, but it may be that the copyright would never have vested in the periodical itself but in the publishers. However, this is all part of a field of law with which we generally have little cause to be concerned, and perhaps it would be as well for Mr. R. E. Symons to be approached for his views.

Yours faithfully,
A Baldwin
TRUST OFFICER.

Encs.
