J. Crier Esq. | Registration Office | Gt Wn. Ry. Station | Paddington, W.
Sir
I write as to my £3400 Monmouthshire Ry Co. Stock in answer to yr. printed circular of 4th. inst as to the issue of a new Certificate on my giving an Indemnity.1
I have no reason to believe that I have ever had in my possession any formal “certificate” of this Stock, and I have always regarded the papers I sent to you on the 3rd. instant as a sufficient evidence of my ownership.2 Those papers are all the documents I have had in reference to the stock.
If under these circes and after looking at the papers sent on the 3rd. inst. (wh. I shall be obliged by yr. returning if not of any use for the purpose) you think it necessy. for me to give an Indemnity to the Co.y I will do so and in this case I name as a “Surety”
Richard Buckley Ld. Esquire, Barrister at Law, of the Inner Temple and of No4 Bryanston Street Portman Square London.3
I hold and can forward to you the upper half of the latest Divd. warrant of the Monmouthshire R. & C. Compy—6 Sept. 18804 and I have not in any way alienated or dealt with the sd £3400 Stock
I am Sir | Yrs. Faithfy | C R D
