Whether W. will execute the conveyances or no, a few days
will now determine. If he does, he will have done all that
Guy can have a right to press him to, & more. If not
let him press him & do what he will with him in God's
name. I have told you before that if the estates are not
mortgaged to the people who have the writings, their having
the writings, does not signify a straw. I have asked W. and
he says he has an exact particular of all the writings, which
of them are in which person's hands, so that in case of a
trial, they are would be compellable to produce them by a
common subpoena such as is used to bring people to give
their evidence. The only inconvenience attending the not
having the writings is the not being able perhaps to find
a purchaser who would buy the estate without them.
I expect every day either to see or hear from Wise. If
I do neither within a few days, I will write to him to propose
what you mention. If I see him I will propose it to
him by way of word.
I can say nothing to your expedition at present. I
wait for W. and I wait for a man who is to come
& pay me some money, and settle an affair I have never
told you of. I am going to have a new Tenant in the
room of Boozey.
If you have not sent my Father's letter before this comes
to hand, do not send it me: but send it at once to him.
Mrs D. would be kind enough to make a copy of it for you,
you might then send me that copy.
I wrote by this packet to Mr Davies.
