Davies tells BR, "the only distasteful part of my business with you is the periodical rendering of our charges."

"There has been a good deal of correspondence as you know, and this has been recorded in the usual manner, but a great deal of it does not, in my opinion, justify the full rate of charge for legal business and I shall be much pleased if you will let me know that the enclosed note of our charges is satisfactory to you" (not present).
