Sunday afternoon
r.r Whitfield' was with you at the Dogg Chaloner was a
litle suspice
sending for both of us down in the Celler made him
guilt of him but I hope I have got as good an t.
if you please to think will of it will get out of him all
that he has done and all that he intends I sent last
night a Copyof Iustice Railton a Copy of a Note that
Chaloner sent to me which Mr. Lawson has in his pocket
under Chaloner's own hand which he is willing to deliver
himself or sent it if you please to command Mr. Whitfield
has endeavoured all he can to get more out of him as farr
as is t.
he is a man of honour and will not talk of any thing els to him
his Misstress was with me last night and fell down on
her knees to me and d.t.
had not hardly know what to do with her begging me
that I would not be an evidence tr Whitfield
told me you would call here before session this is all I know
at present from
rt.t.

Chaloner assisted Price with the water t
Exche
Tallys if I would get people to dispose of them he urged me
mightily to get him a Blanck bill of a hundred pounds to
make a Plate by but because he could not perswade me
to that I
bill telling me that that was not Felony
t
acquaintance of his would set to him which had a great
deal of money in it but I told him I would not have to do
with any such thing but he often telling me that any way of
getting of money contrary to Law was all togeather as bad as
Robbery tho the Law was not so hard in some cases as others
and that if I would not do it I might find out such as would
if I would make it my buisines being I was so long in Newgate
as I was he oftentimes melted down money and mixt it with
other Metalls and made it into money again there was a piece
of steel chch
yet understood who got it for him which I can ga
good t.
a r.ch.
as he has often said before some People as I can produce
that he can have one when he pleases These and many
such like practises of his I can make out by good Witnesses
if I might be heard if it be r
any notice of t.

The insolent carriage of Chaloner's tongue not only to the
reputar.r
he begann to ga
witht
has provoked Mr.
access to me his first t.
vizt. wee have played the fool one with another hitherto for
want of an understanding betwixt us but now if you'l
joyn with me nothing hurt us + rr
that I was outlawed he said because I should not be an
evidence t.tr.
I ommitt t.
when I was before r
the Coyn because of my Circumstances but I have now
well considered of it and will be ingenious in declaring
all I know of him as particularly to his coyning
of shillings last summer I can produce another to justify
it besides myself and I
his work all this which he has said I can bring good
witnes to justify it I humbly lay my self at rrs
feet hoping rrs.r
deserve it
