Fenchurch Street
Feby. 4th 1833.
My dear Sirs,
I beg to send you on the other side a Draft Copy of the Deed of Trust, by which we propose to carry into effect the Instructions given us by your Letter of the 28th. of January, and I believe you will find your Intentions, as expressed in that Letter, strictly complied with. It merely occurs to me to draw your Attention to Mrs. Mosley's Interest in the proposed Fund, which I conclude you mean to limit to two Years, and not under any Circumstances, to Extend to the period of her Life. I have not filled in the Names of the Trustees, because it may have occurred to you to think of others than ourselves. You will of course deal with us as you please, and if it should still be your Wish to nominate Mr Teesdale & myself, you may be desirous of naming a third Trustee, which in Settlements of Money is always best, lest one should die. On hearing from you, the Deed shall be immediately Ingrossed & sent you to be Executed, and then a Copy shall be inclosed to Mrs. Mosley as you direct. Any Alteration that you may desire can readily be made in the Deed.
I am, my dear Sirs, your much obliged and faithful Servant,
Jno Coles Symes
Messrs. Boulton Watt & Co.
Soho.
PS. You will of course instruct us as to the Investment of the Money.
