"Further to our meeting of 29 November, a letter has been drafted explaining the position as to the ability to pay the fees you are requesting. This is with the trustees for approval and will be sent to you as soon as possible."
"... I have requested that the trustees arrange to send you information and a current valuation on the two paintings. Unfortunately, the art valuer we use only recommenced work as at 3 January, and we are still awaiting his response."
"In order to assist in this matter we have had a valuation of the two pictures by Richard Wilson prepared by an independent art consultant ... The valuation together with the supporting background notes is enclosed. As you can see the value is put at £30,000."
