he must behave himself as if he did believe it, for some reasons
that might be for my advantage. L. desired me to write to 29,
which I refus'd; but afterwards told me 29 expected it; and I
promis'd to write to-morrow if he could call for the letter; at
which S.L. shew'd a great concern for me, and I believe him
sincere though S is of another mind.

"14. L. came as he promis'd and receiv'd the letter from 3
sealed, refusing to read it himself, tho' I had left it open
with S. for that purpose.

"20. L. came to me at S. with a line or two from 29 very kind,
assuring me he believed every word in my letter to be true; and
advis'd me to keep hid till he had an opportunity to express his
belief of it some other way. L. told me that he was to go out of
town next day and that 29 would send 80 to me in a day or two,
whom he assured me I might trust.

"25. L. came for me to ----, where 29 was with 80. He receiv'd
me pretty well, and said 30 and 50 were the causes of my
misfortune and would ruin me. After some hot words against them
and against S., went away in a good humour.

"26. I went to E---- and was in danger of being discover'd by
some of Oglethorpe's men that met me accidentally at the back
door of the garden.

"_Nov_ 2. A letter from 29 to be to-morrow at seven at night at
S. and nobody to know it but 80.
