Having no apology satisfactory to myself to offer for my long silence in relation to the subject on which you requested my opinion, I must throw myself altogether upon your indulgence to excuse it.

     Upon the question of lenght of time, I have satisfied myself that the impression I had when you spoke to me and which I then expressed was correct that is, that there were no savings in the statute of 32 Ken.8.C.2. in favour of persons beyond seas or labouring under other disabilities to prevent the lapse of 60 years from barring your title.

     On examining this subject I was a good deal staggered by observing it stated in Bacon’s abridgement titled “limitation of actions” that this statute has the usual savings and was therefore induced to look into the statute itself, from which it appears that the savings alluded to are confined to persons who, at the time the statute was enacted, were under the enumerated disabilities. I trouble you with this observation that it may be communicated to such gentlemen of the profession as you may consult, hoping that you will take better advice than mine before you abandon your claim. If my opinion be correct, it becomes unnecessary to say any thing on the subject of the evidence to be procured to prove your title. Rev’d and dear Sir your faithful & obedient Servant
