To send £5 to Mrs L: (I gave him for the purpose £2:10s). She had sent a letter by her messenger in which she said that she was out of prison by the forbearance of the person she had wronged, who had pais 43s. for her That with £5 she might get out of her misery That she had not applied to her father-in-law because he only sent her a few shillings. Dr B: at my suggestion accompanied the gift by a short note intimating that the application must not be repeated That she ought not to use reproachful language of Mr A: on whom she had as little claim as on himself" 9.1.1840 "it was today not yesterday that I saw Dr B - yesterday I only saw Miss Fayle" "I should have said that A: had received notice from an attorney that Mrs L: had committed theft and would be sent to prison unless someone bought off the prosecutrix by the advance of £5.
