A bemused Stanley writes in response to a request for a “statement of Income up to April 5, 1892” and a threat “to fine me £20 and treble duty.” His tone is typically frank, “How can any person declare what his Income is until he receives it? I should feel obliged to you if you would inform me of how it can be done.”
