sons who have demands against his estate'
to make them known, and that they
would furnish me with their accounts,
stated from their first transactions with
that gcnsiieman. These accounts ] should
be glad to receive as soon as poffibie, ac

with :! flute of his nffctiirs in their hmdsz
and as many judgments may have been
