Letter, from A Thomas etc. to T J Hooper

13 Sep 1898

From: 1898 To: 1898

still thinks it was undesirable to declare profits – as they have been disclosed since auction not unreasonable purchaser should want to verify figures. Thomas etc. never had access to any account of past trading, had understood those in existence not to be relied on. Wants to know if rents included refer to properties excluded from sale, eg. bank, dilapidations etc. allowed for? depreciation of stock? bad and doubtful debts? have rather unwillingly consented to review the figures. wants to know if there was a Private Ledger containing digest of trade books with Profit and Loss Accounts and Balance Sheets
