4 J. B. to Donne Letter 1

made to you or upon your refusal to the Flock of the Peace for you,
that your obligation to quit an entry made by the Feoffee would
commence. — In the mean time and it is what you are informed
of by the Notice itself, no money for making the first tender would be
to be obtained but by the pleasures of the Lords of the Treasury, and
their Warrant for the Issue of the money in consequence: so that whatever
damage might eventually accrue by reason of the suddenness,
you had time and notice to make the requisite application to their
Lordships (through their Agent the Feoffee, by whom the notice was
communicated to you) for the prevention of it. This from the tenor of the
notice itself; not to mention the preparatory explanations that were
given to you, by word of mouth previous to the delivery of it. In point
of suddenness therefore, and want of time adapted to the casual demands
of convenience, the change is rather in your favour. In both cases
the time of the year is the same, and as favourable for the removal
of the Stock of a Nursery as any. But under the natural expiration
of the Lease the obligation would have been peremptory: no door open
for indulgence: to quit at the day or pay double rent together with
the costs of a regular lawsuit would have been your only alternative:
and whatever might have been your plans and calculations about removal
should the season have deranged them ever so much, the obligation
of removing at the day would not have been the less inexorable. —

Another suggestion, Sir, though not strictly within the limits
of my province, I am induced by the considerations above mentioned
to throw out for your consideration. It regards the plan pursued by your
Client's Coadjutors in regards to the putting of a value upon the Lease —

The Premises comprised in the Lease are 1st — The Nursery Ground
