Summary
Providing a legal opinion regarding the nonpayment of rent and the remedy against the tenants; sending him an accounting of the administration and settlement of Governor Fauquier's estate; saying "We concluded, if I remember rightly, when we conversed upon this subject, to pay for the things mentioned in the inventory and not accounted for; although I am convinced they were made away with by some of the governour's servants in whom we were obliged in some measure to trust. I believe you proposed becoming responsible for them yourself alone, which I cannot consent to, since if we were blameable, I was not less so than you. The next time we meet I shall hope to finish this affair."
