Summary
Writing as the representative of Col. Thomas Proctor to contest the sale of Hog Island "as Part of the Estate of Joseph Galloway" because Proctor has already purchased two-thirds of the island "under Mr. John Reed and Mr. Isaac Hughes"; asking them to delay the sale so he can file a claim on behalf of Proctor.
