Sir

This serves to acquaint you of the death of John Wendell
Esqr your attorney in the affairs of the ship William Galley. ]Our last letters
acquainted you the particulars of that affair, and I am very sorry to find that
there is no prospect of having justice done to the concerned in this country.

I must desire that you will be pleased to impower some other
gentlemen to receive the papers & settle the accott of expenses which we have
been at, and to carry on the suit. I am sorry to say that my health will
not permit me to attend that business, having been confined these three
months with the gout, & dont expect to be able to attend to very little business
again if any.

I am sir
Your most obedt & most humble servt

Willem Beth Esqr

Madam

The letters you sent me in your last, to the gentlemen
indebted to the estate of Sir Peter Warren, were deliver'd, and I am sorry to say
have had no manner of effect. I have been constantly applying, but have
not rec'd a farthing from either of them since, and I am now to desire your
ladyship to send proper powers of attorney to some gent'n here to take upon
them the trust of collecting in the remainder of the debts due to said estate
that my health will not permit me to go through that business. I have now
been confined above three months to my house with a nervous disorder &
the gout that I am not able to give that attention to your affairs which they
absolutely require. I beg therefore that powers may be sent over immediately
to receive of me the bonds & mortgages which remian unpaid and settle with me for the money I have
rec'd & remitted you. In the meantime I shall be doing everything in my
power to secure your interest.

Mrs Hancock joins me in our respectfull complim'ts
to your ladyship, and I am, Madam

Your most obedt & most humble servt

PS I have rec'd no answer to my
letters respecting the demand
made on me for Sir Peter's subscription
to the church at Cambridge, with a letter from Mr Inman.

Lady Warren
