P.A. de László Esq

3, Palace Gate. W.

16. December 1914

Dear Sir

I duly received your letter of the 11th inst and in reply desire to say that I addressed the following answer to Mr Oakley Williams on the 16th September.

“I duly received your letter of the 12th inst which referred to Messrs Hutchinson & Co, and I will now leave the matter in abeyance until you have occasion to see Mr Ingpen.^[1]

“It is of course understood that this delay in no way prejudices my claim.”

Receiving no reply I again wrote to him on the 24th November as follows,

“I desire to remind you of my letter of the 16 September to which I have received no reply.

“I have seen Messrs Hutchinson & Co again this morning who inform me that they have received no communication from you in reference to my account against Mr de László.

“I understand that their letters to you remain unanswered .

“I should like to settle this outstanding matter now and if I should not hear from you in the course of a few days I will again write to Mr de László on the subject”.

It will be obvious that I cannot entertain for one moment the offer you made me through Mr. Oakley Williams.

The account I sent you is a just one and I entertain the hope that it may be amicably settled and in that hope I am prepared to waive the “other items” referred to at the foot of my statement which I rendered to you on the 31st August.

I will ask you to be good enough to let me have your cheque in settlement at an early date.

Yours faithfully

Fredk Jenkins
