Transcript

Public Record Office
17 March 1874.

Dear Sir,

On 6 Decr 1872, I was desired by Lord Romilly, then Master of the Rolls, to call your attention to the long time during which the Chronicle you are Editing had been in hand: and to state that it was absolutely necessary the work should be completed by the end of the current financial year, 31 March 1873.

Your Chronicle however having not yet been finished, and another financial year expiring on 31 March, it will be necessary for me to bring the matter before the present Master of the Rolls {1}. I shall be ready at the same time to place before him any explanation of the delay which you may send to me before the 31st instant.

I am, Dear Sir,
Yours faithfully,
T. Duffus Hardy

W. Aldis Wright Esqre | &c. &c.
