On receipt of your Last letter I wrote to Mr Doddridge requesting to know at what time & place I could see him, when I would attend with the papers for his inspection, that he might make up his mind whether he would engage as counsel in our suit.

     As soon as I hear from him I shall attend to the business.

Your letter of 3d inst. has just come to hand. Enclosed are copies of Tomlinson's bill & Cresap's Decree nisi. The copy of George Cox's deposition in Cresap's case is mislaid & I cannot at this moment lay my hand on it. You have seen it. Tomlinsons deposition however contains all the material testimony of the other; and perhaps the substance of all that can be exhibited. Mark Hardin's deposition has I suppose been taken in Kentucky & John Jeremiah Jacobs's in Oldtown; but no copy of either has yet been received by me.
