Scope and content

Goldsmiths' Hall, London, E. C. - Has been requested by the Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company to say how much pleasure it will give him to see Milnes at dinner here next Friday. Asks on his own behalf whether Milnes is one of the Trustees of the Whittington Club; saw him and their mutual friend Lushington talk on the subject. Lushington has received an application for payment as share of a debt on the Club's behalf; 'at his time of life he is anxious to keep as free from annoyance as is possible', and has asked Prideaux to settle the matter for him. Has agreed to help, but 'hardly know[s] in which way to act'; asks Milnes for advice. If Milnes and Lushington are trustees, supposes they may insist on having the affairs of the Club wound up.
