Content Description
Refers to his conversation with Mr Dixon about the problems associated with delaying the time Harley has to return his 'answer' to the court; mentions that Mr Dixon urgently needs the draft of the answer with Harley's observations and now sees it as a necessity that Lord and Lady Harley come up to town for a week; they can then return to Wimp[o]le free from the 'disturbances' of the court; has heard that Mr Seale hopes in a fortnight's time to pick up £200 for Harley.
