there was, in my opinion, of your being permitted to continue a longer
time, and even the whole of your time, if you should be desirous of it,
or if such stay should be productive in any considerable degree of the
effect of lessening the damage. On Wednesday the 5th instant you stated
to me you having employed a person to look out fr another place,and you
did not know (you said) but he might have already taken one. On Friday
the 7th it was that, your friends (whose assistance you thought fit to
call in to help you in your estimate) coming in when I was at your
house, I took the opportunity, before them, to repeat to you my persuasion
that it would not be necessary for you to quit in any haste at all, unless you
yourself chose it, and my anxiety that no unnecessary damage might be
incurred by such precipitation. It was this day that you communicated to me
what I understood to be your fixed determination not to stay any longer
than till the quarter day comprized in the Notice: and, if I understood
you right, you said you had now actually agreed for a place to which you
meant to remove. I should be glad to know (if you have no objection) what
the place is, what the rent is that you are to pay for it, and on what
day and by whom and with whom such agreement was made and
from what time it is to commence: for I foresee events in which it
may be material that these points should be ascertained.This new
incident appeared to call for, and accordingly produced a renewal on my
part of the offer of whatever time beyond the quarter day specified in the
notice might be requisite; you mentioning the time to prevent unnecessary
damage by removal: and I take this occasion to add by way of
explanation that your acceptance of such time will not nor shall
subject you to the obligation of paying rent for it:
I am
Sir
Yours
