Thank you my dear Sam for your letter, and Mrs
D. for its contents. But what is become of the letter that
was written from Seven-oaks? You must give me some
account of it.
I am glad you Mrs D. approved the French scheme,
it is a very idle notion to suppose two people can travel
at the same expence as one. The single stretch of boats is over and back on June
at haste £1. 6. 0 if not double that sum: and if the expences
were not , it would not appear so to other
people. In their circumstances the appearance of extravagance
ought to be avoided almost as much as the reality.
As to the Mortgage affair I would have you all take
courage. I have a scheme in my head which is this. I have
Upon maturely considering W's Deed such as it is (I mean
the old one, I have no doubt of its' being good in Equity:
though I still can not help fearing whether it might prove good in Law.
If then it should be necessary to go resort to Equity against any creditor,
and as a means of deterring them from taking any steps
that would make it necessary for us to resort to Equity, the business
will be for us, if we can, to get possession: in that
view my scheme is to get W. to make it over absolutely in
the way of sale: which is the more reasonable as the money he received from Mrs A. is the very
money and all the money that he gave for it. In this case
all his purposes might be answered by Mrs A. making him a long lease determinable
upon the lives of one or both of them as it shall be agreed: with
the interest of the money by way of rent. This would have a
fuller good effect: inasmuch as she as Landlady would
have a preference as fas as one years' rent went to any
other creditors.
