Circular
I have written to Bank today to pay sums as below to your accounts; but as 3000£ has to be placed from Deposit to current account there may perhaps be a delay of 7 days before money actuall paid to all of you.—1 N.B Perhaps I shall not cut up so creditably next year, as there have been some extra receipts this year.
