Title
Letter from Rickards and Sons to John Philip Gell, suggesting he writes to Miss Cracroft by registered letter if no answer received by the end of the month
Date
26 Jan 1892
Description
If no answer to his letter, there would be no alternative but to get a writ, but he advises him not to resort to that extreme measure without taking legal opinion on chance of success; this would be expensive, so all other means of obtaining an answer from MIss Cracroft should be tried.
