Mr Weld of Witham & Co now has the written wishes and told him that the will was not clear about the beneficiaries hence the need for the document to be passed to the Archbishop. £300 to Southwold immediately with remaining £200 upon the death of Mrs Gordon's sister (Miss Murry who is very old). Fee by the Westminster Finance Board is £10 - which both himself and Mr Weld thought excessive. Mr Weld's "would not be much".

Returning the written wishes of Mrs Gordon, but cannot understand why the will is not itself sufficient. Thanks the Canon for his kind address at the [Canon Mason's] installation.

Expense estimates to be forwarded. Not received the half-year endowment cheque. Witham & Co have dealt with the Income Tax - paid their fee of 10/6. Congratulations on the recent honour which you have received - well deserved.
