Sir
This serves to acquaint you of the Death of John Wendell
{Esquire} your attorney in the affairs of the ship William Galley, our last letters
acquainted you the Particulars of that affair, and I am very sorry to find that
there is no Prospect of having Justice done to the Concerned in this Country.
I must Desire that you will be pleased to Impower some other
gentlemen to Receive the Papers & settle the {Account} of Expenses, which we have
been at, and to Carry on the suit. I am sorry to say, that my Health will
not permit me to attend that Business, having been confined these three
months with the gout, & dont Expect to be able to attend to very little Business
again, if any.
I am sir
Your most {Obedient} & most {Humble} {Servant}

Madam
The letters you sent me in your last, to the gentlemen
Indebted to the Estate of Sir Peter Warren, were Deliver'd, and I am sorry to say
have had no manner of Effect. I have been constantly applying, but have
not {Received} a Farthing from either of them since, and I am now to Desire your
ladyship to send proper Powers of attorney to some {gentlemen} here, to Take upon
them the Trust of Collecting in the Remainder of the Debts due to said Estate
that my Health will not permit me to go through that Business. I have now
been Confined above three months to my House, with a Nervous Disorder, &
the gout, that I am not able to give that attention to your affairs, which they
absolutely Require. I beg therefore that Powers may be sent over immediately
to Receive of me the Bonds, & Mortgages which remian unpaid, and settle with me for the money I have
{Received} & Remitted you, in the meantime, I shall be doing everything in my
Power to secure your Interest.
Mrs Hancock Joins me in our Respectfull {Compliments}
to your Ladyship, and I am, Madam
Your most {Obedient} & most {Humble} {Servant}
PS I have {Received} no answer to my
letters, respecting the Demand
made on me for Sir Peter's subscription
to the Church at Cambridge, with a letter from Mr Inman.
Lady Warren.

Dear Sir
I send you the Inclosed for Lady Warren, which you will
please to Read, seal, & send forward to her, by two Opportunitys, as there is no
Conveyances from this Place, to be Expected for some time.
If I mistake not, you are one of the Executors to Sir Peter Warren's
Estate, and if you have Power, I wish with all my Heart that you will be so
good, as to Impower somebody here, to do what I have Requested of Lady Warren
