Endorsed with solicitors note signed 22nd Dec 1849… ‘We have perused the last Abst[ract] sent which certainly appears, rather than the Abstract previously furnished, to apply to the 4 cottage sold. But the identity requires to be further evidenced. The cottages conveyed by the 1st & 3rd Dec [embe]r abst[racte]d are both described to be situate in Woburn, but it is not stated in what street - & the 2 cottages conveyed by the Inde[nture]s of 1774 are described to be situate in Mill Street. It should be shown that all the 4 cottages conveyed by the [?] Decrs were really situate in Park Street. And evidence should be furnished of the intestacy of Catherine Reddall’. - extracted with handwritten annotations by Wing & DuCane, solicitors for the purchaser [Duke of Bedford] and Green of Woburn for the vendor [Ann Reddall, Henry Land and Charlotte Land].
