A letter from Messrs Weir & Roberts was read in connection with the loan of £1000 from Miss R R Weir. It informed us that Miss R R Weir had died and that in consequence of the bulk of the deceased’s Estate having been left in legacies which were due for early payment, and the heavy estate duties it was imperative to realize her estate and asking us whether we wished to pay off the £1000 at once or as an alternative Mr W F Weir (deceased’s brother) intimated his willingness to take over the Bill as from the 1st October.

It was decided to accept this kind offer and a Promissory Note for £1000 at twelve months date from 1st October 1919 was made out and signed to the order of Mr William Fyfe Weir which was signed by Mr Garrett, Mr Eames and the Secretary and posted to Messrs Weir & Roberts
