Dear Sirs,

Mr. de Laszlo’s Studio

We are sorry we have not yet received from you cheque [sic] for the sum of £284.16. 2 being the balance payable in accordance with the terms of your letter of the 16th. December, for which as mentioned on the telephone Messrs Greenwood, the Builders, have for some time been pressing  They rightly point out that their Contract related solely to the Studio and not to the house and therefore it is not right that payment to them should be delayed on account of matters with which they have nothing whatever to do. We feel sure you will appreciate the reasonableness of the foregoing and trust you will be able to let us have a cheque by return.

Yours faithfully.

COOPER BAKE & CO.
