Whether W. will execute the convey ance or no, a few days
will now determine. If he does, he will have done all that
can have a right to press him to, & more. If not
let him press him & do what he will with him in God's
name. I have told you before that if the estates are not
mortgaged to the people who have the writings, their having
the writings, does not signify a straw. I have asked W. and
he says he has an exact particular of all the writings, which
of them are in which person's hands, so that in case of a
trial, they are would be compellable to produce them by a
common subpoena such as it is used to bring people to give
their evidence. The only inconvenience attending the not
having the writings is the not being able perhaps to find
a purchaser who would buy the estate without them.
I expect every day either to see or hear from Wisc. If
I do neither within a few days, I will write to him to propose
what you mention. If I see him I will propose it to
him by way of word.
I can say nothing to your expedition at present. I
wait for W. and I wait for a man who is to come
& pay me some money, and settle an affair I have never
told you of. I am going to have a new Tenant in the
room of Boorey.
If you have not sent my Father's letter before this comes
to hand, do not send it me: but send it at once to him.
Mrs D. would be kind enough to make a copy of it for you,
you might then send me that copy.
I wrote by this packet to Mr Davies.
