[Draft] 
{London, 23 September 1890] 

In pursuance of the conversation I had with you, I now beg to say 
that I am willing to take the house 122 Regent’s Park Road on 
a three years agreement (similar to the one I previously had with the 
late Marquis de Rothwell) and at the rent of £60 a year on the condi- 
tion that the landlord does for me what he would be required to do 
for a new tenant. 

Besides smaller repairs, such as papering, etc., which might be 
necessary by next spring, there are two points which in my opi- 
nion come under that class, viz. 

1) anew efficient kitchen range to replace the present one which is 
20 years old and quite worn out; 

2) efficient arrangements for a hot and cold water bath, the 
present bath having only cold water to turn on. 

I hope these demands will not be found unreasonable and remain 

Dear Sir 
etc.
