As my Brother Francis is the residuary Legatee, & only acting Executor of our Father, Mr. Thomas Walker, I have procured, & now inclose you his letter on the subject, to which I beg leave to refer you. I am very respectfully Sir Your obedt Huml.

     Yours of July 27th was sent to Charlottesville instead of Milton, & therefore did not reach me untill yesterday.

     The land in quetion fell to my Brother Francis as my Father’s residuary Legatee; and as he is the only acting Executor, I have sent your letter to him, with a request that an immediate answer may be forwarded. I am with respect Sir Your obed: huml. Servt.
