Is sending is estimate of value of pub on compensation lines. There has been a consistent drop in the trade during the last 2 years, so has made 2 computations - A, on average for last 3 years, and - B, in last year's figures 'which to my mind are the best guide from a purchasing point of view'. He will notice that 84 less barrels of beer and 36 gallons less of spirits were sold in 1923 compared with 1921. Is prepared to meet him at Stevanage Station next Saturday 25 February [19] Z 210/85/2 From Herbert M Wright (of S Wright), Victoria Brewery, Walkern, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, to Messrs Bennett. Since last letter have had an offer for the whole of our houses 'which we did not feel Justified in refusing'. Have accepted. So he will probably not think it worth while to come to Walkern on Saturday, although will be pleased to see him if he cares to come. 28 February 1924 Z 210/85/3 From Eric Walker[?], Benjamin Bennett, North Western Brewery, Dunstable. 'Dear Mr Chairman. This has just arrived'. They have sold all their houses in one deal so useless to go to Walkern tommorrow. 'I expect it is Benskins' who have bought them'. 29 February 1924 Z 210/85/4 Valuations A and B on the 'Yorkshire Grey', Windmill Street, Luton. A amounts to 2855 7s 10d and B to 2656 7s 10d [February 1924] Z 210/85/5 Another valuation of the 'Yorkshire Grey'. Total 3267. 10s 20 February 1924
