Linc Inn. Monday Jan: 219th 1778.
What's the matter with you, you Mr Sam, that you dont
write? Don't forget the letters of which I must have the whole
farrago to shew Wilson from the first time the dining scheme
was in agitation - in short from the first time when Wises
affairs came upon the carpet. — Those to Mrs D. as well as those
to you.
We must know the exact day when the Bailiffs came
into possession of the goods at Russell's. You & Mrs D. together
can recollect it. Thursday 27 Nov:r I find it was that I gave
William the Guinea for his journey from Battle to tell us of it
This I think was the morning he returned. Wednesday then was the
day he came. It was at 1 o'clock in the afternoon he said
that the bailiffs came. This then I think could not have been the
day he came, but the day before: viz: Tuesday. Tell me if I am
right. Lose no time - write by return of post I am afraid
of being too late.
Another thing I want to know is when the goods were seized
at Robin Phipps's. When they were seized at Jannings's &
Dame Margam's I know.
I have just received from Polhill a catalogue of the
things he sold with the prices they sold for. It varies
very much from the list of prices sent by the Corporal & Peter.
But I imagine it to be a fair account as the sum total
is within a trifle the same.
If I understand the matter right there were two seizures
at Robin Phipps's. The last I received an account of from Peter
& the Corp:l the day you dined with us in Bow Lane. The things
they took were all in Dame Margam's part of the house.
What they took before was partly in her territories, partly in
Robin's.
