[London,] 19 November 1878 

My dear Dronke, 

I wrote to you in the beginning of this month” to inform you 
that I had been legally advised that the policy you deposited with 
me as security was no security whatever unless assigned to me by 
Mrs Dronke, and that therefore I had instructed my solicitors to 
draw up a form accordingly. 

On the 10th I informed you that this form had been handed 
to Messrs Whitley and Maddock, solicitors, 6 Water St., Liverpool, 
and requested you to call and examine it. 

I have not had a reply from you to either of these communica- 
tions, and am now informed that up to the 17th at least you had 
not called at Messrs Whitley and Maddock. 

As none of my letters have been returned to me by the post, I 
must conclude that they have reached you. However to make 
matters sure, I have requested Messrs Whitley and Maddock to 
have this letter delivered at your house. It is needless for me to 
repeat that unless the above documents are signed and in my 
hands on the morning of the 23th inst. at latest, I shall decline 
paying the payment then due. 

Your truly 

F. E. 
London, 19 November 1878
