Each 1p., 12mo. Both in fair condition, aged and worn. ONE (30 June 1898): 'Received an acct from you. The only error in it is that I dont owe you anything. I sent a cheque to settle up with you some months ago also an order for goods which you never sent so have not troubled you since'. He is returning the invoice. TWO (22 July 1898): 'In reply to yours yesterday I may tell you the goods for which you sent invoice were never supplied. So I cannot owe for them.' He will go through his accounts for the date of his last payment. B. J. W. Hill and Peter Hill, in their 'History of Royal St. George's Golf Course' (1987), refer to Hunter as an experienced Scottish professional, Green Keeper and Caddie Master, and possible designer of the course and supervisor of the work force which created it. Hunter relinquished his business in 1900, after which his accounts were handled by the bankers Emmerson & Co. of Sandwich.
