I have had the favour of your Last and sincerely thank you for the friendship you have Expressed for me, and I make no doubt of your settling the affair if impowered so to do. -- Altho' I did not write my last with a View to its going any farther, I cannot have the least objection to your communicating such part of it as you Judge necessary to the heirs of Sir Peter Warren as in my last I fairly tho' Concisely stated the Case between us, for on the one hand I should be unwilling to enlarge upon my reasonable Expectations from my deceased uncle and on the other very loth to give grounds for doubting their Good intentions with regard to my being in some measure satisfied aballance so justly due, concerning which I have not given them the Trouble of even a Letter for many Years. --

• Be assured it gives me no Concern, neither does it abate my affection for my Uncle, or his Remains that he did not finally consider me as I was Taught to Expect, he was certainly at Liberty to do what he pleased with his Fortune and if from its Largeness he had considered me It could not have en creased the Tyes of Nature. -- I do not suspect that I had any Enemys about him of my own family, as they did not partake of any benefit from his Last Will, nor can I believe the family into which he married would concern themselves about it. Mine are well satisfied with the Case & that they can be intitled to nothing where so large a ballance appeared agt his Charges, they will therefore without delay send over proper Acquittance, & I am only sorry that it is thought necessary for obtaining my Bonds whilst such a ballance is in my favour. --
