''Many thanks for your letter of the 29th ultimo and for the cheque for £22.19.8 in settlement of my firm's charge. I have pleasure in returning the copies of the accounts with our formal receipt attached, and I will send off direct to Mr. McBey the copies of the ''Bill of Sale'' which he asks for; I expect that he means the instrument of transfer, but if that turns out to be the wrong document, I will send him whatever else he wants.
Thank you also very much for your most welcome personal expression of appreciation.''
