Your Excellency’s favor of the 22 instant was this day handed me from the Post office.

I had the honor to write the sister of my deceased friend the late Major Genl Lee, as early as December last, and inclosed therein Copy of her Brothers last will & testament.

As I have certain accts of that letter as well as a duplicate thereof having reached Europe, I make no doubt but that she recd it.

Mr White one of the Generals Executors in a letter of the 8th instant at Berkley informs me, that he had not then been able to get the will proved, but he had written to the E[xecutors] in the most urgent manner to attend at the next Court for that purpose—Whenever that is done, I will obtain an authenticated Copy of the Gens. Will, & forward it to your Exellency—I have the honor to be with the greatest respect Your Excellencys most ob. hum. sert
