Miss. The amount as yet unknown - It can be known to a
certainty by searching the books. This Q.S.P. you may
take for granted will not fail in. When he knows I shall know
and when I know, you shall know. I wish you would set
Mr Wise about it, saying you have a particular reason for desiring

Stretton's as then living. Tr

Maseres of some parish about London I fancy I know something
of his history - and Sam. Frémoult or Freinault (pronounce
Fremò) a parson - Rector of Wootton in I know not
what county. This is not much to the purpose — As the
Isle of Thanet (in Kent) is no very large district) It is probable
that if Mr Stretton's estate was a large one there will be
no great difficulty in getting tidings of it. If the money in the
stocks be amount to 12000 £ or thereabouts, or the old
Lady could & would give up land enough to make up the interest of
that sum reserving to herself a residue = 30,000 — 12,000
alors, au pis aller when either of the old folks dies I come
into Parliament, a coup sur. Here is speculation enough for
you: to which I leave your worship for the present. All this,
Dieu merci, sits as easy on me as an old glove.
The sooner thou doest thy part in the business the better. You may
if you think proper communicate it to Mr D. but
