I think it is of consequence that a meeting of the legatees should be obtained at as early a day as possible, that no time may be lost in making necessary arrangements for dividing or selling at least some parts if not the whole of the estate. I have draughted the form of an invitation to the legatees which you can send to such of them as live in the upper part of the Country or on the main post road. I will give notice to those living in King George & Westmoreland.

     I shall endeavour to be at Fairfax Court in this month to qualify to the will & to attend the meeting— I am dear Sir Sincerely Yrs
