February. As the dividend is payable so soon I have advised Mr. Combe not to sell until it is paid and I expect you will gain
a few pounds by the short delay. Immediately after the dividend is paid however I shall make a point of seeing that the stock
is sold for what it will bring and the proceeds remitted. I have written to Miss Anne Muir to the same effect. Mr. Combe
has never mentioned having received a letter either from you or your sister but I brought the matter of the last half years
dividend before him. I could make nothing of it however as he referred to the entries in his Minute Book as proof of the regularity
of the payments. His co-Trustee the Revd. Mr. Buchanan and I agree that no further notice should be taken of it. I saw
Mrs. Lunam her daughter a few days ago and am glad to say they are well. With best regards I am, Yours truly Charles Notman
