Dear Sir
Not having seen you on Friday nor heard from you and upon Inquiry at 31 Sackville Street <1> receiving no satisfactory Information of your Intention to come to town, though I learnt you are expected in Paris on 5th April I have deemed it right to send down purposely to you at Cambridge –
Mr Hays a gentleman in my office will deliver this and will explain to you the purport of the Deeds; they are all material but some are of the utmost consequence for you to execute before you leave England for they are for the purpose of completing the Recovery of the Estates; I should myself have attended upon you but that I am subpœnaed down to the Assizes at Gloucester – Mr Hays can however very well supply my place and you may be assured that the Deeds are all necessary and in themselves proper and right for you to sign –
I am Dear Sir Your obliged & very obedt Servt
Wm Read King
