When the Judgments were obtained in May...

The Letter referred to by Mr Washington came directly to myself, inclosing my appointment as a Commissioner in Chancery, and informing me that your Accounts respecting your administration of Colvills Estate were referred by the Court to be examined by me —he mentioned that he had transmitted to you the order for the Settlement and woud in due Season transmit whatever papers he had respecting...
