Availing myself of your experienced kindness, I inclose a L. O. Certificate for a small sum due to my father’s Estate, which it appears by the information from Richmond, is now to be applied for at Washington. I presume the power formerly sent you will suffice, and with the request that you will be so good as to use it for the occasion, I offer for yourself and those nearest in your affections, my respects & best wishes: in which you will not doubt that Mrs M. sincerely joins me
