[Draft] 
[London,] 23 September 1890 

Dear Sirs, 

In pursuance of a conversation I had yesterday with Mr Jakins, 
I wrote to him a letter stating what repairs and alterations I should 
expect to be made in the house occupied by me before signing a new 
three years agreement. This letter he promised to lay before you. 

As this question cannot well be settled before the impending quar- 
terday Mr Jakins found it quite natural that I should give you notice 
to quit, so as to protect myself. This notice I beg to enclose. It is how- 
ever perfectly understood that I am willing to withdraw such notice 
again as soon as we shall have satisfactorily settled the conditions and 
terms of the new agreement. 

Trusting that this will not be a matter of difficulty 

I remain, etc. 

Gentlemen, 

I hereby give you notice that on the 25th day of March next (1891) 
I shall quit and deliver up possession of the house and premises I now 
hold on the Estate of the late Richard R. Rothwell Esq. and situated 

at 122 Regent’s Park Road, N. W. in the Parish of St Pancras. Dat- 
ed this 23rd day of September 1890.
