To William Mondet Date: CORK STREET, May 14, 1748. SIR, What I said at first, I say just now without any intricacy or reserve at all: 'Indemnify me, and take the house to-day.' But be sure; I will keep it till I am indemnified. And if you refuse to do this, 'tis not I refuse to quit, but you refuse to take the house. Every sensible man must see where it sticks namely, at you, and not at me. I am Your well-wisher and servant for Christ's sake. Mr. Meriton and Williams have power to transact this without me.
