Description | Tuesday Dear Hodgson When you | wrote to Wells to tell | him of your generous | intention in regard to | our Mason Fund | you were kind enough | to add that you might | put us (the Trustees) | in the way of investing | the widow's money to unusual advantage. | I am anxious to profit | by your great kindness | but am bound by the | will in regard to the nature | of the investments, tho' | as far as I can make | out very slightly. | Would you permit me | to run down to you in | the City some morning | soon - say Thursday - | as early as you like | with the will in my pocket | that I may shew you the | passage in question | & ask your advice? | I am an idiot at business. I sent my answer to | your most kind note | of the other day to 24 | Princes' Gardens, tho' | I am uncertain if you | are in town. It has | been I hope forwarded | to you. yours most sincerely Fred Leighton |
