My dear Father,
It is an allotment to “the Trust” of £299 North East Railway Consols on two payments of £149.10— so that it is now paid. but I am sorry to say it cannot come into this half year I fancy, as they will not receive it probably till due on January 2nd.. I hold it & will place with Trust funds1
I hope the keys are found. | Your affect son | WED
