From Tobias Lear, 24 June 1803
Recipient
I take the liberty of enclosing an Account against the Executors of the Will of the late General Washington, for services rendered after the General's death on account of his Estate. I have hitherto forborne exhibiting this account, hoping that the Executors, who knew of my employment, would have spoken to me on the Subject, and that a settlement would have taken place 'ere this.
