Saturday 2 o'clock
I sealed this as you will perceive— but I thought
I would wait the event of another day. It is as well I did.
Coming home I found a note from W. dated 8 o'clock in
which he let me know where he was (it is the same place that
is called Jones's Coffeehouse) and that he and Mrs W. should
be glad to see me to Breakfast as this morning at 9, or if
that was not convenient would call on me at between 10 &
11 himself. I went and brought them over to breakfast with
me. I asked him whether he had executed got ready the Mortgage ready.
He said he had not had time to do it himself, but had put
it to the Stationer's to engross; and that it would be done by 12
that the Stationers shop was just by Blake's the Proctors where
he & Mrs W. were to dine to day at two — In the afternoon evening
he is they are to be with me again; and then he says he will bring
the writings mortgage.
Mrs W. desired I would write to Mrs D.
by this post to let her know of the writ Mortgage's being executed
but desired I would not mention her being in town. She
will write herself she says and leave her letter to be put
in the Post on Monday. Her reason is that Mrs D. may
not hear of it before she hears the reasons Mrs W. has to
give her by way of accounting for her coming. The purport
of them will be to prove that it is no additional expence
& so forth.
They are to set out on Sunday after dining somewhere where
they are engaged: they will in that case reach home by Tuesday
night. They came in a one-horse chaïse in one day.
They talked faintly of staying in town all Sunday: in which
case they could not get home as he observed till Tuesday; as they
roads are now much heavier than they were. I threw cold water
upon that proposition immediately.
Mandez-moi si quaedam persona sçait le contenu de la
dernière que je vous ai ecrit. Je laisse toute l'affaire a votre discretion.
