Scope and content
Serlby. - Will discuss finances despite Bland's reservations: the Dowager [Lady Galway] has left Milnes no money and only estates encumbered by debt; wishes to sell Fryston or Bawtry. Money has largely be bequeathed in ostentatious legacies and to establish a charity; she has done nothing for his stepdaughters owing to past rift over their father's hasty remarriage. Family movements after the funeral. Postscript: fortunate improvement in sugar trage means the Moncktons will have £300 a year interest on their fortune.
