The most proper and formal way of giving such notice, is by delivering to them an attested copy of the deed; but where the character and known disposition of the trustees is considered to render this unnecessary, a notice in the above form may be given to them. The latter part of the notice may, perhaps, be considered as superfluous, as the trustees would, nevertheless, be bound to follow the directions of their cestui qui trust, against whom only damages could be had, should any accrue by reason of his breach of covenant; but it may have the good effect of putting them so much upon their guard as to induce them to refuse a compliance with it.

changed by you without my consent, during the subsistence of the
said annuity, of which therefore I also request you will take notice.
