Lincoln's Inn June 13. 1783.
Hond. Sir
I am just now returned from Barking, where
I went on foot, and came back by the same conveyance. Tyser
told me he happen'd to be at Waters's; at the time the Bailiffs
came with the Appraiser: but since then he knows nothing of
Waters, nor of the key, nor of the house nor any thing that
belongs to it. He took a walk with me thither: but the windows
were shut up, the door fast, and no getting in. I thought it
would answer no purpose breaking in: it might have two bad effects;
the discharging the sheriff, upon the supposition of his remaining
hitherto responsible: and the making a breach which might
afterwards be made use of idle boys and thieves.
Your old dwelling house is in better luck. The
gentlemen you heard of who made use of it to entertain ladies
in, continued in it but a fortnight. For some time past
young Tyler has been tenant to it; not much, as it should
seem to the old man's liking. After laying out about thirty pound
upon it he has let it again to a Major Cameron, who
is related to Cameron who is in partnership with Sir Charles
Raymond, and who (I mean the Major) is married to a
sister of Lady Raymond. They are expected in it to day.
Tyser and I went thither together; and I explored every nook &
cranny of the premises: house, garden, fields, out-houses and every
thing. Young Tyser I did not see: he being at work at Sir
Charles Raymond's: but I saw old Mrs Tyser and young
Mrs Tyser and children, out of, I think,
none
