1881. A property at Shrewsbury, in which under his
grandfather’s will he had a reversionary interest
contingent on his surviving his father, was
re-settled so as to make his reversion absolute:
he mortgaged this reversion and bought small
property near London: this temporarily alleviated
his financial embarrassment but added to his work,
for he spent much time in the management of the
houses, learnt book-keeping by double-entry and
kept elaborate accounts.

and Henry Festing Jones: an account of his holiday
