Some years ago there was a freindly suit in equity brought in your Court by the executors of Genl Washington, agt the devisees, or some of them, or by the devisees, or some of them, agt the executors. the object of which was to obtain a decree for the sale of certain City lots &, I believe, to confirm² sales of other lots which had been made by the executors. I have a very indistinct recollection of this business, but remember that Mr P. B. Key was the solicitor on both sides— It now appears that Mr Geo. C. Washington, who was appointed by the Court the commissioner to execute the decree, has, by mistake, sold lots which we had previously sold to others. To enable me to decide what is best to be done, I must first see the bill, answer, decree & report, copies of which I will thank you to enclose to me as soon as they can be made off. I am dear Sir Very respectfully & Sincerely Yrs
