The electricity bill for 28 Hasker St.

Purdue and Greenhill describe the state of the place and outline the cleaning to be done, at which time it will be reviewed again to see if more work is required.

A note from Farley stating the F.J. Clement is up to date on payments owed. As there is no apparent addressee, it may have been written for the file.

A statement of telephone charges for 28 Hasker St. for 9 February to 14 March 1963.

Farley forwards the telephone account for 28 Hasker St.

Meter reading and electricity invoice for 28 Hasker St.

Farley sends a cheque from one of Clements' sons, and indicates his desire to sue.

They acknowledge receipt of letter and enclosures dated 17 April 1963 re: Clements suit. There is no carbon for said letter present in the file.

A small envelope addressed to Clements at 28 Hasker St with no contents. Cancelled 16 April 1963.

A final notice telephone bill for 28 Hasker St.

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.

An invoice reminder of charges up to 12 March 1963 for 28 Hasker St.

Purdue and Greenhill enclose the gas account up to 17 April 1963 (not present) for 28 Hasker St.

A form letter indicating the electricity meter reading for 28 Hasker St. was taken on 29 Mar. 1963 from 12 Mar. 1963.

A form letter indicating the electricity usage for 28 Hasker St. was taken on 4 June 1963 from 29 Mar. 1963.

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.

Purdue and Greenhill send the gas account for 17 April to 4 June and ask that Yule send a cheque promptly.

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. He could speak on semantics, but fears it "would be too technical and of insufficient general interest". He asks if 1942-43 would be possible.

A photograph of a carbon of a typed copy is at record 131181

Farley outlines sums for telephone, electricity, and gas owed to them by Clements for 28 Hasker st. He asks Bayer to proceed with a writ immediately.

Purdue and Greenhill forward the final accounts for outstanding bills and dilapidations related to 28 Hasker St.

Further to a telephone call Farley had with Mr. Murrell they also enclose a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Clements. The letter outlines proceedings against him and outstanding monies owed.

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.

Edith has written “H MacColl” and BR “[a writer on mathematical logic with whom I disagreed]”.

Farley provides details regarding the receipt that he issued Clements. He is leaving for Paris and indicates that Schoenman will be able to help if further information is required.

There is a handwritten note at the top that reads: "Ralph, Please note and follow up."

These are three small scraps of paper concerning Plano:

(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.

Farley responds to the notification of outstanding amounts with a reminder to send the schedule of dilapidations and then he will settle the matter. 

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.

Lindus asks who was occupying 28 Hasker St in April 1963, after Mr. Clemence vacated.

Farley informs Lindus that 28 Hasker was vacant in April 1963.

Miscellaneous handwritten and typed notes related to 28 Hasker st.

This brown envelope addressed to "Miss Edith Finch, 6 Paradise Walk, S.W.3" in BR's hand is empty. Written on the envelope in Edith's hand is "BR's letters [except prison letter] to ER" indicating she had stored the letters he sent her from 1948 to 1952 in it. The only part of the postmark that can be read is April. She continued to receive letters until November 1952.

This is a note written in pencil in BR's hand: "I have gone out for a short stroll". The tentative date has been assigned because it is located at the end of a group of letters which end in 1952.

This note is written in ink. "Here is John's story 'Seromt' [not present]. Also some letters to & from Colette which belong with the 1914-1918 bundle." John is BR's son; Colette is Lady Constance Malleson.

Cooper requested an autograph. The letter is dated from his reference to Edith's reply in his apology to her at record 27193.

This poem is written in Edith's hand. It was presumably taken down in dictation from BR, since he published "The Prelate and the Commissar" (B&R C53.24). The poem is on the verso of the envelope belonging to document 105017, record 20273. "The Poem of the True Believers or the Prelate & the Commisar". This title is followed by six lines of text, which are identical to the second stanza of the published poem.

This is a draft reply from Edith to Catlin. The letter she is replying to is not extant, but the envelope is. She forwarded his letter to Farley and Coates. Her letter admits it is a poor time for an appeal for funds. Inland Revenue is making a test case [of the BR Estate? the BRPF"?], and the Nottingham Council is bent on destroying their perfectly sound and useful building.

Included is the will's probate document, dated 2021/12/06.

Tenancy Agreement for 28 Hasker st.

Birkbeck et al. respond to Schoenman's request for advice regarding the ability to sub-let 28 Hasker St. Birkbeck et al. advise that it is possible and lay out the exact terms as stated in clause 2 of the agreement.
