Mr. Wm. Dawkins

Corotomon Sept [2th] 1733

Sir,

This is a line to you concerning our affair with the execs. [executors] of Falconar. I intended to have sent a power of attorney, that we might have obtained justice by a judical determination of the matter, but have not yet done it; & if you can conclude this business in a less troublesome way, I am content that Colonel Page's debt be deducted as also the hundred & fifty pounds due from my brother Robert to young Falconar; & the ballance which shall then be due with thirty nine pounds they owe me, to be paid into your hands. I can hardly suppose that they won't come in to this but if it should happen otherwise, we resolve to use such a remedy as the law gives us.

If you send me your accot. against Colonel Pages I will order you payment if anything be due. I have sent you none of that tobacco it being all gone to Mr. Alderman. I am

Sir,

Your Most Humble Servant

As my brother is under your care I send to you for these & because I intend you shall have the tobacco of his estate consined to you next year. I am
