What is in Wise's hand will speak for itself. Thus much
is true, that I made him the proposal first, but as soon
as I had made it, he answer'd me without hesitation that
it was what he had been thinking of. I had written to him on Saturday to
desire to know when he intended to come to Town, telling
him that I had something to propose to him that I thought
would be for the benefit of all parties: but without saying what.
He told me he had not received the letter, having left
Battle on Sunday before the Post came in: which I suppose
was the case. He came on his mare, & called on me between
6 & 8 in the afternoon: but I was all the evening at Wilsons
so did not see him till this morning.
He has not been able to get the parties concerned to give
him authority to enter satisfaction upon those Judgments.
I was afraid he would not. He said they were
not in the way: they were gone to the Assizes. However
if he executes the conveyance he has undertaken to execute
it will make no difference, provided the Judgments are
as he assured me they are of a date posterior to that
of the deed you copied.
He is to be up in town the next Old Bailey Sessions
which will be I can not tell you precisely when except
that it will be within a Month probably much sooner.
His errand is to do a business he has been consulting with
me about relative to that suit you have heard of which if he succeeds in he
is to have as he told me £1000. Mrs Wise may then
come up to join in the fine: the expence of which will be
about £8 if it be done in the country: 50' less if done
in Town. That 50' will more than pay the his expences here
