Title
Sir John Gell - Rushworth is not the man - he was chief clerk to Lane of Northampton who was the Prince's attorney - providence has cast havoc upon so honest a man as Mr Blac - the jointure that her husband made upon her marriage is not worth 2d. - is so sure of her title that if she had as many Lords, Earls and lakes as could stand between Stanmore and London, she would no more fear them than if they were chickens - asks for advice on what course to take with her tenants
