My dear Sir
Enclosed you have copy of Mr Loxley’s communication <2> – I have written to ask for a copy of Mr Hindmarsh’s <3> opinion which ought to be considered at the same time
Ever Yours truly
J. H Bolton
W H. Fox Talbot Esq
Notes:
1. One of the four Inns of Court, the ‘colleges’ of barristers at the English Bar. Bolton had his chambers [lawyer’s offices and, at the time, living-quarters also] there.
