I spoke to Sidney about the ten days I was with them when they first came to London, he acknowledged his debt but said they had no money so I did not receive anything from them, and I hope if you have any funds in hand you will kindly take my loss of time etc into consideration. I paid nearly all their buss fares during those ten days, and moreover I have spent a good deal of money in buss fares going about from place to place on their business, you will see by your bills I have never charged for them.
Hoping you will give this your consideration, I remain,
Sir,
Your obet servant,
Frederick Tippett
Please excuse me sending this to your private home but I have not got your Folkstone address.
