Whittington Club & Metropolitan Athenaeum, Arundel Street, Strand. - The Managing Committee wishes him to forward to Milnes a copy of a resolution to be moved at the half-yearly meeting on Monday 17 Feb., with 'a copy of the Law to which it refers'. The Committee oppose the motion, 'thinking it injurious to the Interests of the Club' and trust that Milnes will agree; he is being informed since 'Law 16 directs that no alteration in the Laws be made without Notice to the financial Trustees'.
[Peters signs himself as temporary secretary of the Club].
The motion is to repeal the 22nd Law: 'No Gambling whatever shall be permitted, nor any Games of chance be allowed to be played upon the premises' [both motion and law are copied out on the second page of the letter].
