"BR is very grateful for your recent letter about his general financial position. It is not clear from Mrs. Lucas's letter whether she personally met you.... The Russells have a general feeling that she is insufficiently informed of their overall financial situation and they would rather depend on your judgement in these matters. Mr. B.D.S. Lock of Coward, Chance and Co. says he will be writing to Mrs. Lucas about the financial situation of the three grand-daughters and the Russells are very anxious that you should know what is being said and advise them accordingly."
