My dear Dronke, 

I hear from Messrs Whitley and Maddock that you informed 
them of your intention not to have the assignment of the Policy 
executed.” Moreover I have not had a word of reply or 
explanation from yourself. Under these circumstances I can only 
again repeat, that the Policy belongs to Mrs Dronke.and that you 
had no right whatever to dispose of it. It is therefore no security 
for me unless assigned by her in the form prescribed by law. 
Unless this is done, I shall know how to qualify the transaction, 
and of course shall not pay any premium to keep it in existence. 

Yours truly
