To Jno. Fenwick Esq. in Robert's Place York

26 May 1758

Sir

Yesterday I called on Mr Douglas to desire w[ha]t he had to draw between Mr Ward & you might imediately be got ready; to wch I rec[eiv]ed an Ans[we]r as mentioned in the inclosed to Mr Ward; wch you will forward or not as you think proper. You see plainly nothing will be got done wth Mr Douglas, who says he does not know who is to pay him, & wants me to give instructions to Mr Rudd to draw a deed about wch I am not able to give any instructions at all; nor do I know w[ha]t sort of a deed he wo[ul]d have drawn; for I am sure as you will have Sr.Wrs bond for the £2000 he cannot be made a party to any deed between Mr Ward & you. I herewith send you copy of the bond th[a]t  Mr Ward & you may consider what can be done without giving Mr Douglas any more trouble, or Mr Scott & me any more trouble to attend him to no purpose. I sho[ul]d think any Attorney may draw an Assignm[en]t of the bond to Mr Ward on the terms you can agree, sufficient for his security.  I am etc   JR
