Thereabouts J.B. & B.W. London
to
Mrs D. Chatham
Propose an absol.
conveyn of the Battle
House

Dr Betty,

Upon my coming to Town & being wth Mr Bentham
I found that his sentiments coincided with mine, in
respect of the Mode which I had intended to propose to
him, of securing your Mother, which is, that of my
conveying my House to her absolutely, as tho' she
had actually purchased it — This alteration of the
Plan we had before tht. of will occasion one little Delay
but as I am no less anxious than you no for its —
being complete I shall lose no time in doing it, —
and in order to put myself under a positive
agreet
to do this I send you on the or Side an Instrument
for that purpose — I am wth Love &c.

Your Robt Wise

Lin: Inn- Tuesday

W. is to accept a Lease from Mrs A. at 40£
a year rent for 7, 14 or 21 years at his option which will cover so much of his goods, &
a clause I have directed him to put in it will ensure
it from being taken in Execution along with the
goods, or against his disposing of it to any body else. But it is understood
between him & me that Mrs A. is to take no
more than what would have been the interest of the
money lent him if it had remained as a Mortgage.
He therefore must trust himself in this behalf to Mrs A's
honour. Her way will be if he ever pays he any interest
to give him a receipt for the 40 £ upon receiving a years
interest.
