I have received your cheque for £6:11:0 as being a proportion of the rent for water from 16 May to 24 June. Before accepting this I wish to have the position cleared up. If you wish to apportion the quarters payment, it must be from day to day, in which case the amount due for the period up to 15th May is more than thirty days overdue and therefore this Company is in a position to call on you to remove the water pipe. If the amount payable is not apportionable from day to day then clearly the whole quarterly rent of £15:- is due. Please tell me your view. In the meantime I am retaining the cheque.
