"Sometime ago when I learned that you were not being paid on my behalf by Child the total sum owed by me to the children's funds, I instructed them to pay you regularly the sum due the trustees, instead of myself paying anything direct into the children's account here. I should be grateful if you would inform me as to the sums you are now receiving regularly from Child's Bank for the 'children's funds'".
