ACB F/4/5 Papers relating to Black v. Black Includes letter of intent to exercise option, letter enclosing rent to executors of Adam William Black, First draft copy of notice to exercise, legal opinions, family correspondence and notice of appeal. ‘In 1903 A & C Black decided to exercise the option to purchase the freehold of 4, 5, 6 Soho Square and 9 Dean Street, conferred by the indenture lease in Many 1891 made between Adam William Black (1) and (2) James Tait Black, Francis Black, Adam Black (son of James Tate) and Adam Rimmer Black (son of Francis Black and senior partner). The price has been fixed at £16 000 and the value had subsequently risen to about £30 000. The executors of Adam William Black, mainly Adam Rimmer Black’s cousins, resisted this in court without success. The entire affair seems on the face of it to have been conducted quite amicably, in the interests of the estate. However, the fact that it went to appeal suggests deeper feelings below the surface’ Taken from a note by HJHM? 1904
