Page 179 has Woodworth Chas. Baker and flour dealer, Deansgate.

It might be worth noting this for reference - just in case

Thank you heywood I will make a note of this just in case.  LOL

Also sparrett thank you for having a crack at that!  I will look at what I have transcribed and put it here.  Many eyes maybe able to make out what I cannot.

I don't know who this Mr. MARK PHILIPS is and what it has to to with him!!  More "scratching around" to do.  I think the first page may not have come through with the letter!  Let me transcribe and copy here after something hot to eat.  It is VERY chilly here at the moment. Thanks Dianna

Hi
I'm sticking with (  a symbol for and) "results" communicated to his sister....

Others may have various views.

[haney]

Hi Sue I absolutely agree with RESULT makes sense. Ta Dianna

[maddys52]

I think it may be  "... an inquiry may be  instituted as to the property ..."

[haney]

Just adding this for the other word I cannot make out.  Maybe others can make it out.  Dianna

[haney]

Oh Maddy that would make sense wouldn't it INSTITUTED in to the property. All good.
Thank you!
