pickings for him: but no person who was a fraud to any of the parties
concerned or to Guy himself, and know what a Chancery
suit is, would advise it. It would be a very expensive
suit; and would go far perhaps to eat up the whole value
of the matter in question. There must be many parties If wise will not tell how the
matter is circumstanced, there must be many persons made
parties to the suit in order to discover. The man who has
got the Title-Deed must be a party. The prior mortgage must
perhaps be a party. The expence of a Chancery suit is at any
rate exceptionally heavy: more so a great deal than of a suit at
Common Law: and the more parties there are, the heavier.
Whatever W. is at this time able to do, I think I could understate
for his doing: if he is not able to do what is expected,
I am sure a Chancery suit will not make him more worth.
I hope at any rate you will be able to prevail on
Guy to stay till I have had an opportunity of seeing W.
and talking to him.
Aye, do my dear Sam, come and let us see you for a
day or two. Wilson you know has not seen you since November.
Incas go on very well, I have done 102 pages. Of Punishments
I have done upward of 300.
Lind's book is out at last. He called on me last night and
tole me so. He called yesterday at L. North's: but found him
not at home. Johnson had sent message after message
about them. He said he wanted to write to some friends at
Paris, and would not write till he could set a copy to send
him.
The report about Gen. Lu is so far believed that L. Suffolk
left it to the Foreign Ministers: but so he did once before a report
about York's being taken which proved premature
