File 2884. - Humphry Carroll to Nicholas Williams, ESQ., at Rhydodwyn,

He received the recipient's letter by the latter's brother, whereby 'you' signified that 'you' would send up monies to discharge 'my' engagement and 'your' other friends for 'you' here by the 20th of September next. The recipient shall hereby understand that 'we' could not get the £58 'we' engaged for here the last winter to be continued any longer. It was payable the 18th of June last, and since both the writer and 'your' other friends have been in danger to be arrested dayly, but it was their good fortune by the procurment of the bearer hereof to get so much money as served turn to take up 'our' bond, and thereby saved a great deal of trouble and charge, especially to 'myself' who would have received more prejudice at present by an arrest than the whole money came to. The sum received is £58 to pay the bond off, and 10s. more which the scrivener had for 'brocage' for accepting of payment after the day past, both which 'I' desire 'you' and 'your' friends are obliged for so seasonable a courtesy, who also will receive much damage if not paid within six days after sight hereof. But being confident of 'your' performance hereof, the writer takes leave. Autograph.
