Marked Triplicate. Letterpress copy of the original. See GLC2437.05994 for a copy of this letter. References Longman's letter of 1 August. Is sorry to hear Longman is having so much trouble with the Flucker estate. Says I have it the most speedy way to terminate the affair to assign to Mrs Horwood the legacy left to Mrs Knox by her uncle, in condition of her relinquishing certain lands. this business accordingly is put into a train of execution. Is sending Longman the first of 11 bills of exchange, each for 1,000 guilders. Believes each bill should be about 1,000 pounds sterling. Thanks Longman for his patience. Says it is with extreme inconvenience that I pay so heavy an [arrear] for property destroyed by events which I could no more control than I could the great operations of nature ... I mean the late war. Says he was not seeking money, but satisfaction. Believes the balance he will furnish Longman is 400.
