Addressed to "The Present Occupants", the letter announces Mr. Wood's desire to inspect the flat (3 Elystan Mansions) and asks them to call to tell him when would be convenient.

A small form from Fortnum & Mason. The form indicates who packed the order and the name (misspelled as "Clemence") and address. There is a note on the back that reads "2 Boxes in Basement Cellar" with an unidentified signature. It is unclear if the note has anything to do with Fortnum & Mason or if this was simply a convenient piece of paper.

A record of telephone charges. The sender is not identified, but it is likely the GPO. And it is presumably charges to Hasker St. as it is in that file. However, there is nothing on the document itself to indicate this.

Purdue & Greenhill write to say that having now taken possession of 28 Hasker St. they have found that the telephone had been disconnected for non-payment and that the electricity has also gone unpaid and will be cut off soon. They have paid the outstanding telephone bill from the deposit, but do not have enough to also cover the electricity. They ask that a cheque be sent to cover the balance.

Yule responds to the 5 June 1963 letter regarding the outstanding telephone and electricity, reminding them that they had not occupied 28 Hasker for some time and had not received the bills in question. In addition, there should have been no charges for the telephone since no one was living there. Yule asks Purdue to send details and will address the matter promptly.

Purdue clarifies the dates for the telephone charges, which correspond with the time it was occupied and asks if the sum for the electricity can be delivered by 3 pm the following day to keep the electricity on. Finally, he notes that they received a note from BR indicating that keys were enclosed, but the keys were not there. Mrs. Clark has changed the locks in compliance with insurance regulations and that bill will also be forwarded to Yule.

BR is honoured to be invited to be the William James lecturer; however, he has obligations at the University of California, and does not have any material prepared, nor would he have time.

Birkbeck fowards a copy of a letter from Clements [spelled "Clemence"; it is unclear if this was a typo by Birkbeck or the correct spelling of his name] asking for clarification on the electricity bill and arguing that 28 Hasker St. was in poor condition when he moved in. Birkbeck also forwards a copy of their reply to Clements regarding the electricity bill. Their letter to Farley asks for originals of all accounts so that they can send copies to Clements, as requested.

Purdue and Greenhill request a cheque for the sum of £83.15. 3.

Birkbeck forwards a copy of a letter from Clemence ("Clements") and will await further instruction. The letter insists that the electric light was included in a sum of £151 already paid and requests a detailed statement showing how this sum was arrived at.

Farley sends a detailed breakdown of the sums owed by Clements.

Birkbeck encloses two copies of the letter they sent to Mr. Clements with details regarding the charges. Birkbeck suggests that the copy of both letters also be sent to Ralph Schoenman who has called to complain of delays, which they cannot understand. Birkbeck suggests that perhaps Schoenman should set out his complaints in writing so they can be addressed. The letter ends with a postscript apologizing for requiring written authority on the matter, but it is "on account of the publicity angle".

The extra copies provided by Brikbeck are still in the file, suggesting that perhaps Farley did not forward them to Schoenman.

Purdue and Greenhill write directly to BR regarding outstanding amounts owed for 28 Hasker St after they do not hear from Yule.

(1) “from Peano, & therefore precious” in Edith Russell’s hand but presumed dictated by BR

(2) “Peano” in BR’s hand

(3) “Peano” in ER’s hand but presumed dictated by BR

All are in ink. They immediately precede the letters to BR from Peano, beginning at record 79719.

Birkbeck advises that having seen the receipt, which did not make any provision for the cheques clearing, they will have to consider certain matters covered. Following that they give advise on the remaining outstanding bills.

Birkbeck acknowledges Schoenman's instructions [enclosed] to carry on with the claims as they have advised. They ask him to return the various account statements as well as an updated report from the Bailiff.

Purdue have not had a response from their 1 October letter. If the outstanding amount is not received by 21 October, their client will have to go to her solicitors.

Scheonman sends the telephone and electricity accounts.

Birkbeck thanks Schoenman for returning the telephone and electricity accounts.

Purdue sends the schedule of dilapidations and confirms that there will be no additional charges beyond the £83.15.3.

Birkbeck does not see it possible for them to pursue claims based on the receipt given to Clemence 19 March 1963 and asks to clarify continued pursuit of certain amounts.

Farley reluctantly confirms that their claims against Clements are limited to the amount which the bailiffs are attempting to enforce and agree that Birkbeck should make this clear to him. He also asks for an update on the bailiff's progress.

Birkbeck will communicate with Clemence after they have talked to the Bailiffs.

Birkbeck write to clarify occupancy after Mr. Clements left to properly account for the telephone bill.

Farley confirms that 28 Hasker St. was vacant after Clements left and agrees that there may be cause for reduction in the phone rental, but asks Birkbeck to consult the photostats or originals of those accounts which are with them.

Birkbeck has communicated to Mr. Clements solicitors that a reduction in the amount of the phone rental of £1.10.0d if it is paid in the next seven days.

Lindus & Hortin, Mr. Clemence's solicitors, ask Farley to check and see if an engraved silver plated punch bowl with six cups are in their possession. Mr. Clemence ordered it but it was delivered after he vacated.

Farley is investigating if the punch bowl resides with them, but draws attention to the fact that Mr. Clemence vacated 28 Hasker St. 14 March, well after he placed the order with Fortnum & Mason. In addition, he suggests they contact the current occupants, as well as the woman who lives in 28a, who might better be able to assist.
