31 Jany: 1778.
Your letter enclosing one to Mrs Whitehorne is received.
The latter I am afraid is a little obscure in some places. Wilson thought so. — It is possible
there may be occasion for another — if so I will give you some
hints about it. But I hope this will do the business.
As to partiality in the Jury I have no great fears about
it. The Assizes, Wilson says will be held not at Lewes,
but at East-Grindstead. It is nobody's fault: it rests with the
adverse party whether it shall be tried where we choose or in
Sussex, & they have chosen Sussex. The worst inconvenience
is the expence of witnesses. I must go to E. Grindstead,
Polhill and the Bailiffs certainly, & I do not know who
besides.
The Curtains, Sir, shall wait your pleasure.
The writing to Mr D. was not at all in my thoughts.
It is agreed that you are the properest person of us all to do
it. The fear is that you will not have much time.
State every thing just as it happen'd.
