Hon. Sir,
I have but just time to thank you for your very kind
letter, before I proceed to what must be the subject of this. A
Tenant has offer'd for the apartment that was Mrs Leach's: and
as I thought her likely to prove an acceptable one, I thought
no time was to be lost in taking your commands upon the subject.
You had given Mrs Delap the preference in the recommendation
of a Tenant; but a lady she had in view, and has proposed it
to, declined it on account of the height of the rent, at the sum
you had first fixed. The lady I am about to mention made no objection
to that rent (£20) when mentioned to her by Mrs
and Mrs Delap: for she also though not before acquainted has been
to Mrs Delap about it, but when I mentioned to her the new terms
you seemed to have resolved upon, she would not hear of any advance.
Her name is Sarney: she is I believe a Widow, seems
between 50 and 60, and has I think a good deal of the gentlewoman
in her appearance. She has lately lost a son, I understand, who
died in the East Indies; and for whom she is now in mourning.
A daughter of her's is married to a Mr Harcourt, a gentleman
nearly related (as I understand from Mr Clark) to Lord Harcourt.
He occupies, (or rather his wife, for he is a Lunatic) <hi rend="underline">Little
Foster House near Egham; a house which you may remember
belongs to old Counsillor Vernon who succeeded to it on the death
of his nephew James. Mrs Sarney's chief residence has been
and will be at this Daughter's; but she has occupied an apartment
in Somerset House as a home of her own to resort to after occasion.
All the occupants, of apartments in their holding are suddenly worned
out; which is the reason of her removal: and she is for
time; so that if your answer is not favourable to her in the first
