Napier writes that the mere name of it ‘puts me into a fever’. He has just received bills from Lawyers for £159 which need to be paid immediately. With lawyers and journeys to and from Dublin he is already £400 out of pocket and he expects it to be twice as much before it is resolved.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dated at Kinsale, [Ireland].</p>
