I wish you would send me a a list of these things of
Mrs A.'s which she lent to W. I am mean articles of furniture
&c: and tell me what means she has of making it
appear that they were lent only and not given. For
unless it can be made appear to the contrary by some
particular evidences the presumption would be in case of
a dispute that they were given.
I have not been in a hurry to send W. his Deed because
I think it will be better to tell propose the above scheme
to him viva voce than by letter. He won't have the courage
to refuse it while I am with him: but if it were
at a distance, he would be for putting it off and making
excuses. I will endeavour to get matters ready, so that
upon his closing with the proposal the business may be
settled upon the spot.
I can say no more at present — Adieu.
I pity thee about thy Dealings with L.S.P. — But what
signifies my saying so?
