TitleWilliam Tomlinson from London to John Barker, esq., Bakewell: death of Mr. William Barker: Mr. George Perkins and Tomlinson, ex’ors: John’s father was one of the ex’ors of the Reverent Mr. Charlesworth, and John is his representative: in his opinion the disposal of the property rests with the ex’ors of Charlesworth, and not those of W. Barker; it will be in interest of W. Barker’s family not to sell house; refers to extract from letter from Mr. Perkins, mentioning that the annual rent amounts to P13,450.00 which at current exchange of R46 per £, will be about £500, from which must be deducted repairs and ground rent thought to be about P500: is considering asking counsel’s opinion, and would like to know if John has any points to be included in case: desires to save time and expense, and be of service to late Mr. Barker’s family.
(On same sheet): Copy of J(ohn) B(arker)’s answer to Mr. Tomlinson: agrees that William Barker had no right to dispose of hypothecation; thinks it best to have counsel’s opinion, whether the money is to be divided equally between William’s children or at discretion of Mr. Charlesworth’s ex’ors: if it is at their discretion, he will be glad of assistance from Messrs. Tomlinson and Perkins as he knows little of the circumstances of his uncle’s family: agrees that house should not be sold at present. A/24
