359o - Henry Barnes to his father J G Barnes: In consequence of your offering an extra £400, we have entered into an adventure and will be glad of the money; we are doing tolerably well; we have only been 4 months in business and have yet to see the results of our foreign shipments; last night there was a terrible fire which destroyed 8000 bales of cotton. - 6 Oct 1838

359p - William Barnes, Liverpool, to J G Barnes: we are obliged for the £300; would it be convenient for you to advance a further £400-500 beyond the £300, should we see a profitable investment. - 23 Aug 1838

359q - Henry Barnes to his father J G Barnes: William returned from Wales yesterday; can you let us have £300 in 2 or 3 days time; business is tolerably good but we must expect it to be on a limited scale for the first year or two. - 24 Aug 1838

359r - Henry Barnes to his father J G Barnes: Mr Seldon has spoken to Mr Crook about a situation for Edmund and he thinks that you and Edmund should come up to Manchester at once; William and Charles are in Wales. - 18 Aug 1838

359s - William Barnes, Liverpool, to J G Barnes: we are much obliged for the £230; I hope to obtain business from Mr Stubbs of Warrington; I have heard from Davenport, Harrison and Co of Bahia and hope to do more business with them; all goods we buy are paid for immediately as our credit is not yet established; we have £700-800 invested in bank shares and do not wish to sell until the half yearly dividend is paid; could you lend a further £500 to be repaid when the shares are sold; our business progresses well. - 15 Dec 1838

359t - William Barnes, Durham, to his father: can you let me have £100 in two £50 bills. - 21 Mar 1846

359u - William Barnes, Liverpool, to J G Barnes: we cannot get out bank manager to quote an exact rate of interest but it will be more than 2 ¼ %; we are not doing much business but are paying our expenses. - 25 Jun 1838

359v - William Barnes to his father J G Barnes: I could not find any suitable draught horses at Darlington Fair; I need 2 to plough the fallow and get the manure from the farm yard; I engaged John Dixon at 8s a week and am to keep a cow for him; I mean to have a daily labourer to take charge of the new horses, of which I hope to buy another 4 at Durham Fair. - 3 Mar 1846

359w - Henry Barnes to his father J G Barnes: the £100 has been paid for Edmund and we have got the terms in writing. - 22 Nov [1838]

359x - William Barnes, Liverpool, to his mother: I am getting into business habits again; I have talked to Seldon about getting Edmund a situation in Manchester and sending Alfred to school in Paris, but I think a school in England would be better; we have made about £12 since starting business. - 9 Jun 1838

359y - William Barnes, Liverpool, to J G Barnes: I intend banking with North and South Wales Bank in which I have shares and think we will get 3 ½ %; I feel unfit for business and little would get done if it were not for Henry's industry; it will take a year for me to get over the effects of the fall. - 1 Jun 1838

359z - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to his father: includes a copy letter from Mr Selden regarding placing Edmund with Messrs Crofts and Stell or Jones Nephew and Co; particularly recommends Bannerman and Co - 18 Apr 1838

360a - Edmund Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I wish to know if matters are in train as Phipps Turnbull arrives on Thursday and I will have to enter into some pecuniary engagements. - 12 Jul 1859

360aa - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: as I have at present no intention of offering the farm for sale, I will not write to May until the rent is paid, but if he likes to make an offer I will consider it. - 28 Nov 1859

360ab - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: encloses D8042/360za; I will start for Durham on Saturday; I do not exactly remember the valuation of Moor Farm and Ashgate but I make William's share £8,700. - 22 Apr 1858

360b - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I cannot get the claret without writing for it; I could order a 3 dozen case. - 14 Jul 1859

360ba - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I received the draft for £66 12s 11d; Ellen will no doubt explain the residue account. - 31 Oct 1859

360bb - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I had not the remotest idea that William would think of disturbing the will but I do not think there is anything that can be challenged; William wishes the Moor Farm to be sold as he could get more by investing the money than by letting it; William wishes to inspect the property and does not want the timber money to be invested; we almost came to a fight on several occasions; I blame William's wife. - 12 Sep 1858

360c - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I am sorry to hear that you have lost your little boy; if we cannot get a mortgage soon, I think the Courteny children's money should go into the fund. - 20 Jun 1859

360ca - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I return the receipt for Edmund; the account is not exactly correct as there is 13s 4d due; if Courtney does not send Constance to school there is nothing for it but to retain the money. - 1860

360cb - Copy letter from Alfred Barnes to Henry Barnes with copy of accounts. - 24 Mar 1859

360d - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: the balance required from Henry and myself is greater than I had anticipated by £200; I will look over the account at leisure - 7 Mar 1859

360da - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I have heard nothing about Constance and Courtney seems to have done nothing about finding a school for her; I should be glad if Alfred will have the cottage repaired. - 13 Dec 1859

360e - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Ellen Barnes: Mrs Harrison should have got the letter on Friday; I have made arrangements to receive the money. - 15 Apr 1859

360ea - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I have been thinking over the matter of the loss on the farm but cannot remember what was said and am therefore happy to rely on Ellen's recollection of what was agreed. - 7 Nov 1859

360f - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I have determined not to offer Ashgate until February; we must hold onto the £500 if we can do so legally; Mr D. writes that Edmund would take Ashgate at £200. - 21 Dec 1858

360fa - William Drabble to Alfred Barnes, London: I am sorry to have to trouble you once again about William Barnes; I have received a telegram from Mr Bloxam stating that William is in custody at Marlborough St. Police Station; could you see the magistrate and say that his friends will arrive tomorrow? - 4 Nov 1859

360g - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I understood that D. Coke was to do the plans; I care not a straw about will and his proceedings; I would not have taken in that child on any account. - 22 Dec 1858

360ga - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: as the income tax is now raised to 1s 1d, it is too late to say anything about it. - 21 Jul 1859

360h - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: what had Mr D. done about advertising the properties; I will stick to the £550 unless it is forced from us. - 18 Dec 1858

360ha - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I was surprised to find Maureen and the children when I arrived home yesterday; I will not therefore go to Derbyshire unless it is necessary for me to sign the deed; I would like £2,000 of the money in August. - 22 Jul 1859

360i - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: Charles told me what has passed with William as to the £150. - 14 Feb 1859

360ia - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I enclose bills for £337 10s 11d; have you done anything about the Smith money? - 20 Oct 1859

360j - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I never intended to give up the £550 unless forced to do so; William knew I was not obliged to pay it. - 24 Dec 1859

360ja - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I have received the £39 11s 8d; I have no objection to Mr Wright meeting Mr Fowler to settle the matter on the spot. - 12 Dec 1859

360k - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I believe the amount I shall have to pay Alfred and Henry as executors to get possession of my deed is £1000; Henry is not sure whether they are bound to close their executorship account within 12 months of our father's death; would it be possible to borrow £2000 upon the security of my deeds to Barns Farm and Grange. - 24 Feb 1859

360ka - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I think that R. taking the M.C. 4% free of income tax is a little objectionable; it is usual to deduct income tax when paying interest on mortgages; Phipps Turnbull may not require any advance as soon as I first thought; I am glad the agreement with May is signed. - 15 Jul 1859

360l - William Drabble, Harrogate, to Alfred Barnes: as the 6 months allowed for proving the will expires at the of the month, I wish to remind you of the necessity of making out an account of your father's personal estate; the freehold will not be subject to probate duty; I do not think William will oppose the proving of the will. - 20 Sep 1858

360la - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I am not likely to want the money as soon as I expected; I hope you can arrange it so that you do not pay the income tax. - 18 Jul 1859

360m - Letter to Alfred Barnes: the Tupton and Ashover and Birkin Lane Turnpikes have declared dividends of 5% and 2%; there is therefore £9 10s due to the executors of J G Barnes. - 12 Jun 1858

360ma - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I suggest putting the Smith's £1100 into Midland Debentures although it is not in accordance with father's will; we could get Perry's sanction; it would give 11%. Dated Sunday. - [1859]

360n - William Drabble, Harrogate, to Alfred Barnes: I did not see William at Ilkley; if a copy of the will is supplied to William, it should be handed to him by Henry; I hope William will not dispute the will or codicil; Henry and Charles are the only persons who have a legal right to walk into Ashgate. - 16 Sep 1858

360na - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: Smith said he would take 5% so I have paid him £40 1s 6d; William is as bad as ever and his wife will not stay in the house with him; I have advised her not to leave Durham but to put William in confinement again. - 25 Jan 1860

360o - S. Barnes (wife of William) to Henry Barnes: I left William at Ilkley Wells in a rather less excited condition; his friends have been unable to persuade him to see a doctor, in his state of mind there is no saying what he will do. Dated Sunday. - [1858]

360oa - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I cannot see what Edmund has to do with the interest on Courtney's children's money; if the children have to pay tax at all, it ought to be paid by us as their trustees; we ought to get the full interest from Edmund; consult Mr Drabble at once. - 9 Jan 1860

360p - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I see no objection to paying off Drabble at once. - 8 Nov 1858

360pa - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I was glad to hear of the good sale of timber; I enclose a copy of a note sent to Mr Drabble [see D8042/360qa]; I have written to Mr Robinson regarding paying off the mortgage next month. - 11 Jan 1860

360q - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I hear that William is at Ilkley and is making a fool of himself. - 16 Sep 1858

360qa - Charles Barnes to William Drabble (copy): I was not aware that the mortgage was for 3 years as I was lead to believe by Alfred that it could be paid off at any time. - 11 Jan 1860

360r - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I got back from Durham last night; I left William with the understanding that he and his wife would go to Ilkley today; if he does not change soon, he will have to be put in confinement again; he is as mad as a march hare but keeps himself quiet before medical men; he is sueing Dr Jepson and Mr Stephenson for illegally putting him under restraint and turning him off his farm. - 8 Sep 1858

360ra - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I return the power of attorney; I was under the impression that both the receivers of the rent and of the interest would have to pay income tax. - 13 Jan 1860

360s - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I hear the bank balance in William's account is only £49 12s; I think he invested £250 or so of the money paid him by Mr Drabble, so he must have spent the rest and the £94 which Edmund sent him. - 15 Nov 1859

360sa - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: as Courtney is determined not to send Constance to school, I think we should decide what to do; I suggest that we make it £130. - 25 Jan 1860

360t - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I have not been able to sell the half share in the 'Peveril'. - 27 Jun 1859

360ta - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I find there is a balance of £106 13s 10d in Smith's a/c from which £75 must be deducted; I cannot understand which it is so small. - 18 Jan 1860

360u - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I cannot make out if the £73 0s 3d is correct from Alfred's statement. - 31 Oct 1859

360ua - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I would be glad if you would have the Grange looked dover and see if the woods need thinning. - 21 Oct 1859

360v - Henry May, Dronfield, to Charles Barnes: I enclose a cheque for £50 less income tax, for the half years rent of Barnes Farm; I would like to have words with you regarding the state of some of the farm buildings and a right of road claimed by Mr Hague. - 3 Dec 1859

360va - Alfred Barnes, London, to his cousin Alfred Barnes: I am sorry to hear that Alfred's wife has a throat infection. - 9 Jul 1859

360w - Charles Barnes to Henry May: I shall not be in Derbyshire over Christmas but Alfred will be in Dronfield soon. - 5 Dec 1859

360wa - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I have paid Smith's bill; as Charles chose to turn off the tenant at Barnes Farm, thus bringing about a claim on the executors for work done I feel that Charles is morally bound to pay whatever is due; it might be best to allow Drabble to decide; I have received a letter from Courtney asking for assistance; I would not mind helping him if he showed any disposition to self sacrifice. - 23 Jan 1860

360x - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: Encloses D8042/360v-w; will you discuss the matters with May? - 5 Dec 1859

360xa - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: Courtney declines to send Constance to school at present and considers himself entitled to something towards het maintenance; he also thinks her education should be left to his direction and claims that Henry is dictating to him; I think we should give him not less than £120; William was to be liberated on Saturday. - 17 Jan [1859]

360y - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I have received a letter regarding the Shetland ponies. - 9 Jul 1859

360ya - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to Alfred Barnes: I sent (?) £500 of my own money to enable him to be comfortable at Ashgate, for which I expect 5%; please see D(rabble) about getting William's account made up. - 1859

360z - Alfred Barnes to his cousin Alfred Barnes, Chesterfield: I have invested the £11,000 in consols in your and Henry's names. - 20 Oct 1859

360za - William Barnes, Broomside, to Henry Barnes: the proceeds of my sale have been paid into Messrs Backhouse and Co's bank, Durham; I heard from Mr Drabble about the way in which my father bequeathed the property left to me, but I do not understand the position; I wish to be informed of the position in a business-like manner; I am anxious to know what my annual income will be; I am much better in mind and body. - 21 Apr 1858

361a - Promissory note for £150 by William Barnes to J G Barnes. - 16 Nov 1857

361f - J G Barnes to Barnes Bros.: I have received the bills for £76 4s and £26 1s. - 5 Oct [1843]

361g - Charles Barnes, Liverpool, to J G Barnes: as William's affairs are now a family matter I see no reason why I should be taxed individually with his necessities. - 1857

361h - Handbill for superphosphate of Lime or Dissolved Bones, issued by A. Butel and Co, Manufacturing Chemists, Old Uttoxeter Road, Derby. - [c1840]

361i - Frederick Wright, Woolwich to (J G Barnes): with regard to the demand for £6 15s due to you as lessee of this corn tithes at Brampton, I doubt your statement is correct and have paid the money into the hands of Messrs Smith, Payne and Smith. - 13 Nov 1840

361j - William Barnes, Broomside House, to J G Barnes: I am obliged for the bill for £150. - 16 Nov 1857

361k - William Barnes to Charles Barnes: I have heard that Henry has written to Mr Foster withdrawing his guarantee; I am quite upset at having to leave the farm; the corn cannot be threshed as it is too soft; Mr Booth says I must not sell any of my cattle yet; can you lend me £150? - 6 Nov 1857

361l - Sarah Barnes to J G Barnes: William wrote to Charles against my advice; his mind is in a distracted state and he is not amenable to reason; Mr Booth advises buying 10-12 Irish cattle to eat up the pasture and hay on the farm; William is quite unable to look after the stock. - 11 Nov 1857

361m - J G Barnes to William Barnes (copy): Charles forwarded your letter; the need for more money proves the wisdom of insisting that you give up the farm; I send £150 at great inconvenience, to be repaid when the cattle are sold; I hope an effort will be made to sell everything to the best advantage; I shall allow you an annual sum for your life. - 14 Nov 1857

361n - J G Barnes to Henry Barnes (copy): as it appears that you have £9,000 in your hands, I would be pleased to have £200 or £300; I have notes to the amount to the amount of more than £7,800.

361o - J G Barnes to Henry Barnes (copy): please let me have £300.

361p - J G Barnes to Henry Barnes (copy): regarding money to be received from Barnes Bros.

361q - J G Barnes to Henry Barnes (copy): what is the name of your Liverpool bank and what house do you draw on in London as I intend to pay over £330, the first part of the £500 as I have no use for it at present; I can send the other £170 at any time; I will reserve another £500 for you.

361r - J G Barnes to Henry Barnes (copy): I now find that £200 in December will be sufficient; I will give a month's notice if I want another £100.

361s - J G Barnes to William Barnes (copy): the less we speak of your future prospects at present, the better. - [1850s]

361t - J G Barnes to Henry Barnes (copy): as there is more money in Barnes Bros. hands than was allowed for and there will be a year's interest due soon, I would like £200 between now and Christmas. - 14 Oct 1843

361u - Henry Barnes, Liverpool, to J G Barnes: I have signed the Borough Bank circular on your behalf; send the pass book before 23rd so that the account may be made up to date; William has asked Charles for the loan of £150 but we cannot comply in the present circumstances; when the stock is sold the money should be invested and not left in William's hands; the house of Dennistoun and the Western Bank of Scotland have failed. - 9 Nov 1857

361v - (Charles Barnes?), Melbourne, to Henry Barnes: I put off writing until I had finished all the other business letters; business increases so much that it is all I can do to keep up; the last two nights the office has been open until past 11; but I do not feel in good spirits as the business is so risky; many people are ruined; I feel the want of a partner very much and had hoped that Edmund would come out; I have been obliged to enlarge the premises again. - 1 Feb 1843

365p - Alfred Barnes, London, to J G Barnes: Richard Clay stock amounts to £1500 consols; the best way would be to give a power for the sale of the whole once the will is proved; the stock in Long Annuities amounts to £58 per annum and is in the name of the late James Corbett. - 26 Nov 1839

365q - J G Barnes to Henry Ludlow: I paid John Oldham £177 9ss in July 1840 as his wife's share of the residue of Richard Clay's estate; £1000 consols were retained for the widow's annuity and £195 consols to pay the same amount to Hemingway Clay at 21, which produced £182 18s 4d when sold in 1845. - 5 Jul 1850

842m - Winter and Co to Miss Brocksopp: we are required by our client Mrs Smith to bring the arrangement between herself and you to a close; Mrs Smith was considerably annoyed by your last note after having assented to the terms of your former one; you required in the former note that the £140 should include use of the piano as well as plate and linen but she cannot include the piano if taken for less than a year. - 29 Jul 1833

842n - Sarah Harrison, Sheffield, to her [half] sister Mary Brocksopp at Miss Walton's: my mother received your letter and box and would be obliged if you could inform her where my brother John is, as she wishes to write to him.

842o - A Crawford Broomhead, Eckington to Miss Brocksopp at Miss Walton's: we would gladly comply with your request if we could do it consistently; there are many reasons why taking an inmate into our family would be inconvenient; be assured we feel for your situation; Mr and Mrs James Appleby are moving into a house of ours in the pleasantest part of Eckington; I think they could spare 2 or 3 rooms. - 23 Jan 1832

842p - J Beasley, London, to Miss Brocksopp at Miss Walton's: I arrived in London to your brother's surprise and gratification; he is in comfortable lodgings and is quite at home in London; he is not looking at all worse nor is his cough more troublesome, yet he is not is such good spirits as when he came up; Dr Hall does not say much about him although he says that if the lungs are not ulcerated, he can prevent their being so; you are in very good hands; Dr Hall says the weather is too hot for your brother and he is to sail to Margate twice a week. - 30 Jul 1831

842s - Louisa Ellis to Miss Brocksopp - [1832]

842u - John Brocksopp, Risley, to his sister Mary Brocksopp at Miss Walton's: I received the letter and books; the dictionary does very well; I suppose you heard of the tiger that escaped at Nottinghamshire Fair and devoured many sheep in the forest. - 6 Apr 1827

842v - J Beasley to John Brocksopp: I am anxious to lead you to dwell on spiritual things because I neglected to bring you up as I ought; I omitted many opportunities of showing you what great things God has done for us; to be convinced of the sinfulness of sin is a great step on the Christian course; we cannot learn to love Christ until we know what he has done for our souls; Christ is the only foundation.

843a - Frances Somerset, Piercey Lodge, to Lady Luxborough: if you still have the inclination to look upon me in a friendly light, you will never again treat me with the ceremony of a formal acquaintance; I was not in the least surprised that you returned to the seed of your ancestors. - 31 Dec 1751

843c - J G Barnes to Mary Brocksopp, Cheltenham: I am sorry to hear that you have been so ill; I should have had the names of the Cheltenham bankers and Miss Carel's christian name to enable the exact sum to be sent; I have been obliged to get two banker's notes for £140 and have cut them in two, sending half of each to you; when you acknowledge receipt, I will send the other halves; your tenants seem determined not to pay the present rents. (see also D8042/842x) - 16 Sep 1834

843d - Mary Brown, Barton on Humber (Lincolnshire) to Mary Brocksopp at Miss Walton's: perhaps the occurrence which has deranged your plans may only delay your excursion to Leamington (Warwick); I thank you for your consideration in not wishing to prevent me making any other engagement but I know of none at present; I should be obliged at you remembering me if you wish at any future time to have a lady with you; my sister is also looking for a situation; I am 28, my sister is younger. 27 Mar [no year given]

843e - Mary Welfitt, Louth Park (Lincolnshire) to Mary Brocksopp at Miss Walton's: I rejoice to hear that you will visit me this winter; I hope you will make a longer stay than you mention; I am expecting my brother William and his family; Christmas is generally a season of festivity with us; the cup of sorrow circulates and we must all drink. - 23 Nov 1831

845b - J G Barnes to Mary Brocksopp: I have been expecting to hear from you as I do not know what to remit besides the quarter's rent; I have made the tenants some reductions; I have directed Messrs Crompton to pay Esdale and Co £112 10s for Miss Carel and £37 10s for yourself; you had better call on them on Monday next. - 17 Dec 1834

845c - J G Barnes to Mary Brocksopp: I enclose the remaining halves of the bank notes; the tenants ask for a reduction of 15%, which would be £60 per annum in your income, in view of the losses by bad crops and the low price of corn; I have made them no promises; I need to know your views as soon as possible; they are good tenants and manage the land well; I do not know how Mrs Harrison can be distressed as she has upwards of £140 per annum. (see also D8042/843c) - 20 Sep 1834

845d - J G Barnes to Mary Brocksopp: I was sorry to hear so poor an account of your health; I hope you will not neglect to take the best advice; at the rent day I allowed the tenants 5% upon a year's rent and told them I did not consider myself pledged to allow it the next half year; corn still continues famously low; I hear that Mr Harrison is infirm; Mrs Harrison is receiving about £96 per annum from your brother's estate, £40 from you and I hear the field is let for £15, making a total of £151 per annum. - 30 Dec 1834

845e - J G Barnes to Mary Brocksopp, 2 Tivoli, Suffolk Lawn, Cheltenham: I shall let Mrs Harrison know that you desire me to pay her £10; I observe you are going to give a lady £450 per annum to board yourself, Miss Joliffe and your servant; I cannot judge whether it be high or not; I recommend you to be cautious in making an agreement for so long a term as a year. - 10 Apr 1834

845i - Alfred Barnes, London, to Mary Brocksopp: I send the locket and hope it will please you; your poor brother's hair was not sufficiently long to form a plait but I think it is tastefully arranged; the chain is of the latest fashion; your situation is a peculiar one; you will find many ready to flatter and deceive you but none will be more disposed to act honestly by you than my cousin J G Barnes. - 19 Oct 1831

846c - J G Barnes to Mary Brocksopp: please remit £100; two letters containing money have been lost in the Cheltenham Post Office and it would be advisable to take extra precautions with the remittance. - 1 Jan 1834

846k - Mary Brocksopp, 11 Promenade Villas (Cheltenham) to J G Barnes: I received the halves of the £100 and £40 notes; I feel certain you will make the best arrangements with the tenants; I cannot understand how I am legally bound to lower the rents. - Sep 1834
