Title
From: Samuel Whitbread I To: Mr.Strong I doe not think that all is settled & done, nor doe I mind Segreant Hill's opinion. Woodcock has behaved very shamefully very different from what his father would have done but I knew the Man by his actions, & I will get that tried yet if possible, to which you will not advise, but I shall even forgoe that, if in my power. I shall try for it. I desire you will lay the Case before Erskine directly if he is not gone the Circuit & can answer it before he does & seen that I have sent it him as it will be a Hertford case; write first in my name to ask if he can before he goes the Circuit, which I wish. And I must beseech you to make the Conveyance of Hammond this week, as we have had it shamefully in hand & if he chuses may make another Wainwright business; it must be done but you have no help which I lament on your account & pray think of the Brewery Bill, as the Rest is making up. I have a Letter from Captain Hinde that Samuel is taken at Woolwich but not a word about Peter - so he is not distressed. & my 100 must goe to pay Peter's debts as it ought [Note: Peter Hinde may be Peter Robert Venables Hinde; Erskine may be Hon.Thomas Erskine, King's Counsel, of Serjeant's Inn, Fleet Street, London, later Prince of Wales' Solicitor General]
