From Sir B. Brodie   30 October 1858

Summary

Thanks JSH for sending American lily roots as a companion to white lilies sent previously. Hopes that JSH will visit him at his estate at Broome Park, Surrey, as he is attending examinations at London University.

Discusses the question of church rates payments and a paper on the subject by JSH. Discusses difficulty of paying them if a tenant refuses as other landlords would see this as a bad example. Also discusses landlords making the payment and adding the amount to the rent on new leases.
