Madam,
By the Desire of Miss Boulton I beg leave to reply, as far as I am able, to your Letter of the 30th Ult’o which Miss B finds herself, at this Time, in too low a State of Spirits to do with her own Hand in Consequence of the very ill Health of her Father, which has rendered it necessary for us to avoid troubling him on the Subject of your Letter; his Physicians having, in the strongest Terms, required that no Business whatever should be laid before him.
With Respect to the Letters you have received from Mess’rs. Boulton, Savage & Spike as you have not transmitted Copies of them it is difficult for us to form any distinct Idea of their Contents.
But in Regard to the Lawsuit undertaken with a View to recovering the Value of your lost Trunk I can only say that M’r. Boulton settled Years ago with M’r Dolphin the Attorney in Birmm who was employed on your behalf, & paid him for the same upwards of Forty Pounds.
It remains therefore for me to recommend, as the only Alternative I perceive, that you refer the Persons who make Demand upon you for any Expences attending the Action in Question, to the aforesaid Mr Dolphin, Attorney at Law, Birmm.
I am Madam,
your most obt huml Servt
Wm Cheshire
