Sir
Having learned that a deposition from Mrs. Paine was recently sent to your office at your request in relation to the claim of Alexander Brabenburg on whose estate I am admr., I am anxious to know if the same was sufficient to substantiate the claim; And if not to know what is yet wanting, that I may attend to it. The deposition was taken during a severe illness of Mrs. Paine: when she was so ill that it was necessary that her physician should be present who I have been informed put the questions to her and was answered in such and in ordinary manner that it is possible some error may have been committed which would not have been made had she been in perfect health. If any discrepancy exists between the deposition and that formally given by her, it is due to her as well as to the heirs of Brabenburg that a new deposition be taken. Now that she has recovered from her illness, I should be pleased to hear from you at your earliest convenience. Respectfully John. Brabenburg admr.
