MR.
MURRAY'S REMOVAL TO 50, ALBEMARLE STREET We must now revert to the beginning of 1812, at which time Mr.William Miller, who commenced business in Bond Street in 1791, and had in 1804 removed to 50, Albemarle Street, desired to retire from "the Trade." He communicated his resolve to Mr.Murray, who had some time held the intention of moving westward from Fleet Street, and had been on the point of settling in Pall Mall.
Murray at once entered into an arrangement with Miller, and in a letter to Mr.Constable of Edinburgh he observed: _John Murray to Mr.A.Constable_. _May_ 1, 1812. "You will probably have heard that Miller is about to retire, and that I have ventured to undertake to succeed him.
I had for some time determined upon moving, and I did not very long hesitate about accepting his offer.
I am to take no part of his stock but such as I may deem expedient, and for it and the rest I shall have very long credit.
