| Description | (Directed chez R. Foley & Co.) [Cracknal brought Oppenheim from London and on Monday he was smartly examined by sundry creditors, in which Taylor was very active, who I imagine is more deeply concerned than what he chooses to own. I waived accepting an invitation, as some of the creditors are suspicious of our having saved ourselves by your presence in London. Taylor is much vexed at being lurched this time, having always been remarkable for clearing himself as you have done, witness the affair of Cooper’s about 12 years ago and lately in his Havana concern with Samuel Touchett. They indeed treated Oppenheim very scurriously with hard names &c., which he seems determined to resent at a proper opportunity: they gave him 24 hours to consider if he would deliver up his Books to the examination of Mr. Oseland, who set off this morning with a power of attorney from all the creditors (except ourselves) to act towards him as he might think proper. I really think his disposition is bad for you know he has already made one Levy, another Jew, his greatest creditor, who has entered a docquet to prevent any other from taking out a Statute. When some of the creditors told him you were gone to France he seemed greatly disturbed and contrary to every request would absolutely depart for London that night to be in time to write to France by Tuesday’s mail. Enclosed you have a publication (I suppose of Oppenheim’s brother) in this week’s paper.] |
