Apologizes for not responding to previous letters before receiving two new letters about Dr. Taylor's bond. Had been waiting for answers to questions respecting their business, specifically about whether bonds due to the mandamus counselors were confiscated with their other property, and therefore whether Taylor was solvent. The Courts decided finally that the bonds had been confiscated. It appears that Taylor is insolvent and has taken the bonds; his lands had been mortgaged to Mr. [Thomas] Flucker. Declares that due to these circumstances, he must decline Lechmere's kind offer, though he would have accepted if the situation was reversed.
