Dear Madam
I am this day favoured with your Letter of the 12th Inst. the Contents of which with the Inclosures surprizes me much & gives me great Uneasiness; the Conduct of Davidson’s Bank (but particularly of himself) is infamous, but not to dwell on the ill usage by Davidson’s & the very unpleasant Consequences attending it, the Matter at present as it appears to me

Dear Madam
I wrote you the 14th & 15th Inst, & this day I received your Letter of 14th Inst enclosing a Copy of Mr Davidson’s very strange Letter to you; after the Treatment that you & Colonel Beaumont had met with {from} him, it certainly did not merit an answer, & I think that you judged perfectly right in taking the money out of Davison’s Bank & placing

Dear Madam
I wrote to you yesterday to which I refer you; since which Mr Pearson called on me to show me a letter from Mr Baker enclosing a Copy of the Engagement with the Bank of Davison & Co, he was not so much surprized, as he never had an Opinion of their fulfilling their Engagement with you: had Davison not been the Occasion of your breaking off the Agreement entered into with

Dear Madam
I wrote to you yesterday to which I refer you. With the kind assistance offered you by Sir R[ichar]d Glyn & Co I have no Doubt that the Lead Pay may be effected by the End of May the chief Difficulty will be the obtaining a sufficient Quantity of small Notes from the Bank of Loraine & Co or any other Bank, much the greater part of these Notes will come back to them
