Letter from WSC (War Office, Whitehall [London]) to W Bernau [of Cox and Company] informing him that the Trustees [of Lady Randolph Churchill's estate] will accept 500 pounds on 2 Sussex Square and that this is 1,000 pounds less than he had expected. WSC notes that he should receive 400 to 600 pounds from the publication of his articles in book form and asks whether it will be necessary to take out a 1,000 pound [life assurance] policy. Signed manuscript.
