Love this one... A Hand Written Solicitors letter!

Solicitors
73a Queen Victoria Street, London EC


1st August 1894


Sear Sir,

Mr George Lowe of West Green, the received appointed in respect of the property lately occupied by you in Abbotsford Avenue informs us that he gave you due notice of increase of rent as such Receiver, and he reported the fact to us as Solicitors acting for the Mortgagee – He also informs us that up to the present he has been unable to obtain payment from you of the rent due on the 24th June – we has therefore instructed him to obtain payment of this immediately and unless the sum is paid we shall have no alternative but to bring the matter before the notice of the Commissioners of Customs.

Yours truly

Stevens Bawtree & Stevens





Mr Arthur Hockely

Customs Office
