DEAR P——, I have more than £30 in my house, and am independent of quarter-day, not having received my pension.
| 902 | LETTERS OF C. AND M. LAMB | March |
Pray settle, I beg of you, the matter with Mr. Taylor. I know nothing of bills, but most gladly will I forward to you that sum for him, for Mary is very anxious that M[oxon] may not get into any litigation. The money is literally rotting in my desk for want of use. I should not interfere with M——, tell M—— when you see him, but Mary is really uneasy; so lay it to that account, not mine.
Yours ever and two evers,
Do it smack at once, and I will explain to M—— why I did it. It is simply done to ease her mind. When you have settled, write, and I’ll send the bank notes to you twice, in halves.
Deduct from it your share in broken bottles, which, you being capital in your lists, I take to be two shillings. Do it as you love Mary and me. Then Elia’s himself again.
