Stuk 59 - Letter from William Ambrose Shaw to Thomas Flower Ellis

Wycombe Lodge, Kensington, W. - Lord Macaulay held a lease of Holly Lodge from Shaw and his co-executor, Mrs Thomas Shaw; half-yearly rent is to be paid at Lady Day to Mr John Broadhurst; will be glad to know what arrangements have been made in the matter. Would like to see Ellis to 'talk over the position we all stand in'. Mr Broadhurst rents from the leaseholder, Captain Terry. Wonders if Lord Airlie could be persuaded to purchase the lease from Captain Terry or his family, 'and so release all the intermediate parties which to you & to us as Executors is not very agreeable'.
