Letter from R. Hamilton Few, Few and Company, 19 Surrey Street, Strand, London, to Sir George Gabriel Stokes, Lensfield Cottage, Cambridge Thanking Stokes for his letter and the return of the copy deed [for Chelsea Physic Garden]. Notes the meaning of the term 'demise and grant', but the deed of 20 February 1721 is not a lease, but a grant of fee simple. He had not the opportunity to study cases before the committee met and the validity or invalidity of the deed would require consideration. He has referred to these authorities and he considers that the deed is valid. He assumes he will receive instructions from the Treasurer in due course. With a pencil note querying on what grounds this opinion is good, apparently following Council discussion of 3 July. 16 June 1890
