Autograph Letter Signed to unnamed male correspondent [his solicitor?'].

Merchant and merchant banker (1740-1810). 3 pages, 16mo. In very good condition. He is unwilling to produce his title to the property, the request, in connection with the purchase of a neighbouring property from an individual named Bonar, having 'something else in view'. He encloses [not present] 'a plan of the premises, in all about 2 1/2 acres by which you may perceive it would be convenient for the purchaser of Bonars, to pick a hole in my title'. He gives a brief description of 'three seperate [sic], but contiguous tenements, all fronting the road'. He 'should be glad to know the name of the Sollicitor [sic] which might lead to some discovery. - perhaps it would be right for you (in my absence) to wait on Bonar as at my request, to explain to him the impropriety, for I feel very much averse to produce the writings indeed nothing but necessity will compel me to it [...] You will find Bonar extremely liberal & obliging.' In a postscript he asks his correspondent to 'look in at The India house on Wednesday & hear what is said about the curious correspondence'. Signed 'F Baring'.
