Notes:

1.  Samuel Price
Samuel Price (b. ca 1830), of Samuel Price and Son, solicitors [more], in the case of Tacchi v Whistler. George Tacchi was a picture frame maker and was a creditor to whom JW owed £41. 9. 4. (see affidavit, #12045). JW was unable to pay off any of the debt and this sum appears against Tacchi's name on a list of creditors in JW's bankruptcy papers (#11926).

2.  Allingham
Theodore Frederick Allingham (b. 1845), solicitor [more]. Allingham had been dealing with the bills of numerous small tradesmen to whom JW owed money. However, he had recently handed over his affairs to James Anderson Rose (1819-1890), solicitor [more]. On the same date as this letter, Rose stated: 'I am dealing with other Claims & my own £500 waits for everybody' (J. A. Rose to J. Mackrell, #05235).

3.  '164'
Written in another hand. This may have formed part of a numerical sequence assigned by Rose to JW's bankruptcy papers.
