The only key that was in either of your wastecoat
pockets I send you here with inclosed.
I have not got the Instrument you mention of Mrs
Acworths: Wise's 1st informal Mortgage upon paper - (We
will call it in future the paper Mortgage) I think I may
say so pretty positively. When we wanted it for the purpose
of Wise's reciting it in the formal Mortgage, not
thinking it prudent to trust the original with Wise, Mrs
D. you may remember by my desire sent me a copy
which I transmitted to him. Consequently the original did
not come into my hands then. From that time to our
going to Battle nothing called for it. When we you and I went
from Brompton to Battle to take possession of the goods
I took I think the absolute conveyance with me for the
purpose of shewing it if advisable to Gilbert whom I expected to see
or any one who might be inclined to become a purchaser.
I think it not improbable but that the paper mortgage
might be inclosed in that conveyance: however whatever it was
I took I returned all together as I took it. Either at
taking or at returning it I have a recollection of several
papers being in it, amongst others one relative to the transferring
of the stock. I have a faint recollection of seeing the
paper mortgage at one or both of those times. I know one or
more papers were put up in the absolute conveyance when
it was returned. I did not take it with me upon my return
to London. I packed my things up in the parlour: they were
put up in my leathern cloak-bag. Mrs Acworth helped me.
