Additional Details

". . . It really had not occurred to me that there were any queries of yours remaining to be answered on my part. When my sister in law spoke to me on the subject, I told her that she must be mistaken. I had already written you the assurance that I have no interest with Charter House Governors; and as to closing the account at Coutt's, and relinquishing my trust on your behalf, those things were already done and completed on due consideration."
Charterhouse school was a hospital and school for the needy in Charterhouse Square, London, founded in 1609.
