Rare DS, unsigned, three pages, 8.5 x 14, May 13, 1971. A mimeographed copy of a notes of conference meeting between John Lennon, H. H. Monroe, and representatives from Ashurst, Morris Crisp & Co., and Thornton Baker & Co., which was organized to "examine the taxation implications arising on Paul McCartney's withdrawal from the Beatles and the companies associated with them." Although Lennon does not sign the document, he underlines and parenthesizes several relevant passages in green felt tip, and adds to the top of the first page: "Memo from P. McCartneys council to P. McCarntey [sic]." In fine condition. McCartney wanted all four members of the Beatles to officially end their partnership via a contract that would enable each band member to freely go their separate ways. However, as this document reveals, and Lennon makes known, a close to their partnership would inevitably result in the band paying a tax. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from noted Beatles expert Frank Caiazzo.
