Dear Fred

It is quite clear from your letter sent to hand – 5:30 pm to day and dated 16^th July that some letters have gone astray and never reached you. I have informed written you about the middle of June that my Uncle John left what he had between his brothers William and George(my late father absolutely but had my father died before said Uncle John I was to get his half. So there is nothing to expect from that source – we shall not appoint new trustees until we get possession of all the papers obtainable

We shall we hope soon be through here now and one heartily sick of the many obstructions we have had to encounter and clear away then we shall get down to Birm and do all we are able to sell the AG House if we don’t succeed to leave instructions for its sale in proper hands. We shall exercise discretion in the Clifford case. He has clearly broken covenant in conveyance. Bob has been thoughtful and kind to us in the way of finance – we hope soon to act said

And are trying to finish of the 2^nd inst. This is the date when we left England in 1888. The “Sarnia” sails on the 24^th. I am glad the samples from Taylor Road have arrived in Taylor Road in every where an advertised firm for Cocoa +C. Their written terms read thus-

“[illegible] receive on to be forwarded to Taylor Rd and on completion invoices and BH will be sent to us to hand in to buyer who is expected to remit Taylor Rd at once Bank draft at 30 d/s unless they should receive specific instructions from us to hypothecate the documents this the Bank of BC in which case they would be duly protected.

So start on selling if you can. Show the samples and prices to Charlie tell him the terms. We get 5% on cocoa chocolate or mustard and 2/s only on chicory – I have sole agency for BC for the cheapest and best soap in the [illegible] Crossfields of Warrington. Your Mom often talks of the dear ones at Victoria and seems to be always thinking of you. She sends her love to you all. Violet is already dreading the voyage.

We write in much affection from your Dad

We will have written dozens of letters to you amongst you
