From John R Denyer
To E. Greenshill
Stourport
From your letter … led to think you supposed possession of the Salt Warehouse was delivered up to this Company directly after the conclusion of Mr Baker’s sale; such however was not the fact, nor was I aware that possession was intended … until the keys were brought & left at this Office by an almost unknown hand on 31st Jan.
You will therefore perceive that the premises were held longer than necessary for the purposes of the Bankruptcy, & the Company being deprived thereby of obtaining a tenant, must look to you for remuneration by the payment of rent.
