ABSTRACT
I am now able to tell you that having consulted Messrs Lewis & Lewis on the subject I see no objection to your proposals with regard to the above house I shall be much obliged16 Bat Rise if you will <kindly> let me have in writing exactly what your terms are <will be> – namely that, the expense of the auction, printing, & all other [other] expenses shall not exceed £8 (eight pounds) in the event of no sale taking place – In the
[p. 2]
event of a sale taking place, then, of course, the usual commission being charged [by] by you –
I <also> agree to you xing the reserve price at <only> £300 (three hundred pounds) – as I wish to get rid of the property as quickly as I can.
