Dr Sirs

Glasgow University.
Hyndland Teind.
We have yours of the 16th inst. and beg to refer you to our letters
of the 6th March 1909 and 17 April 1909, and our correspondence with Messrs
Hill & Hoggan annexed, in which we ask to know what slump sum your clients
are
prepared to take for the redemption of above, and your reply to same on the
19th
April 1909. We should now be glad to hear from you further on this matter.
We have no desire whatever to try to get out of our obligations.
We are only entitled to pay our proportion of these tends and other
proprietors
should do the same. To our mind it is not reasonable that we should be
asked
to pay the whole of this, and until same has been bought up for a slump
sum, or
otherwise allocated in proportion among the various proprietors, a demand
for
payment of the whole in fairness ought to go round, and we would suggest
that
you should call on some of the other proprietors to pay.



        Yours faithfully,
        Duncanson  & Henderson
