November 25.—
Our house is intirely
fitted up, and we shall remove into it
this evening; my mother chooses to continue
in her own, though Mr. Arnold
presses her to accept of an apartment in
ours; but we shall be near neighbours,
and she does not like to change.
We have received the opinion of
our lawyers, who tell us, that in case
the child should be born within such a
period of time, as to give colour to its
claim, yet the lady must prove her assertion,
in regard to the pretended meeting
between her and her husband; which
it is imagined is not in her power to
do; and her indifferent character, together
with several favourable circumstances
which Mr. Arnold has on his side,
makes them quite sanguine in their expectations
of overturning her claim. We are,
however, likely to be engaged in a disagreeable
law-suit; but as M. Arnold
seems perfectly easy about the issue of it,
I will make myself so too.
