THE AUTHOR OF "TRIXIE"
one which no man would willingly assume alone. I leave the composition of this committee to you entirely, for it would ill become me to suggest any names. Whomsoever you appoint will be loyally accepted, as will be their verdict. In conclusion, I must tell you that it will be necessary for you and your associates to attend at the Sloane Street Safe Deposit, where documentary evidence of a—conclusive nature will be submitted to you, and in no other place can this be done. The day and time, however, it is for you to fix in accordance with the full convenience of yourself and your associates.
Trusting to hear from you favorably,
I am, dear sir,
Yours very faithfully,Samson Roach.
