I must be brief—I have a good deal to tell you, and but little
time to tell it in. I have seen W. I have talked to him.
He has promised me to bring me a mortgage executed by
him on Wednesday if he comes to town that day, as
he says he intends; if not to send it me on Thursday.
He accounts for his not having done it before, by his inability
to get the writings. I told him they were entirely distinct
things: his not being able to do all, was no reason
for his not doing what he could do. He said the writings
were in the hands of a man to whom he owes £250:
but he assures me, there is the premises are not mortgaged
to him or any one. If so, all is well. If the man
is within search I will find him out and try whether
I can not prevail on him to let me have the writings:
I mean as after when W. has executed the mortgage
For if the man has no mortgage he has no sort of table
to the writings; but is compellable by law to give them
up to the mortgagee: nor is the possession of them of any
immediate consequence.
I question whether I should have seen any thing of him
if it had not been for an accident. On Thursday by the Coach

agonies from not having seen or heard any thing of him from
since the Friday before when he left her to gocome to London
and write to her that night promising she should hear again
on Wednesday if he was not back by that time. He said
it would of the be "of the utmost disadvantage to him not to be
"home by Thursday": and yet she saw he must be with
Marie at the Sussex Coffee house on the next day. He dated
