Farnham tenants communication
from Mr.. Norris Goddard, solicitor,

states: ''You must bear in mind that
it is not his lordship's wish to sell,
and therefore it is not as if he were

price as will guarantee to his lordship,
at present investment rates, his pres
that 1 have not looked closely into
rental but that shall do so between
the present time and receipt Of your
Offers" A meeting of the tenants has
been summoned to consider the reply.
