Transcription

Plowden describes the negotiations between Mr Sheldon and Lord Cadogan. The two men are involved in a real estate transaction. They will get ‘an act of Parliament for the exchange’, pending a formal agreement. Plowden describes a tract of land in Northamptonshire he would ‘freely sell to my Lord, on the same terms’ if the other deal came to nothing. He thanks Sloane for taking care of his son.
