Has Mrs D. I wonder written to old Wise about the £5?
It is high time she should, if she has not.

I wrote on Tuesday in as plain terms as I could
write to Robin Phipps asking him whether the Bailiffs had
seized any & what things out of his house at any time & when before they seized
the things out of Dame Morgan's room. In answer to this came
a letter in the name of Peter & written by the Corporal letting me
once more when it was they seized the things at Morgans. So that
I am as much in the dark as ever. The Corporal is a worthy
creature, but wondrous stupid.

By Monday's Diligence I got a Catalogue from Polhill, which
ll the appearance of being a genuine one. By Thursdays
a letter from him with a bill explained now for the
in a manner tolerably satisfactory. The change is
nd to £12 4 — 0— He is to draw a Bill on me
for £12 and have the 4' together with the gratuity I promised
him for his trouble in sending the Catalogue till he goes
to Brompton which he talks of doing soon & calling on Mrs Acworth.
I should think 1/2 a guinea in all may do. But if he grumbles
she may as well give him a guinea. We must have him
as an Evidence. The cause cannot be tried in town: it must
be tried at the Assizes.

I have got a pair of buckles as heavy as two Porters
can carry. price £1 - 18 Item a pair of black & white stockings; at 14'
longitudinally striped. Item a pair of do, do at 1d', do, of a patent
sort. They are I don't know how many Inches thick, &
of a stitch drops, the whole is to go no further.

I am apt to think Polhill has not behaved dishonestly on the
whole.

Polhill mentioned a report there is at Battle that Mrs W. & c are
coming on the Parish. This I contradicted.

How goes on Ship-building.
