Dear Sir

     As the money paid by Ransom ought to be appropriated without delay to pay debts so as to stop interest, I have out the statement underneath to show how much is to be paid to Mr Turner out of Saml Washingtons half of the sum you are about to distribute— The residue of that half is to be paid to Doctr Scholly & the other half to Thornton Washington. I think the sooner this is done the better. I am very sincerely & affectly yrs
