Title3 February 1828
Arrived 4 April. Smithers at Ashford to William Longsdon forwarded to Charleston P.F. Peabody. Called on Harrison last night and same opinion - will try to get copy for William. Conceives legacy receipts, the accepting of bonds for £1000 and receiving interest on same to that time a bar to William's sisters' claim, but their case states that writer was not a party to the legacy receipt - a fact of which they appear to be ignorant and on this account he gives a different opinion as to writer's claim - expressing great doubt. In William's case he conceives accepting interest on £1000 is a bar to William's case. But upon the whole writer holds both the case and opinion lightly.
On looking over William's letters found by one of 19 September that by that same post WL [Longsdon] "forward[ed] to Mrs Longsdon for the Executors my account with James up to 1st November next - giving balance in my favour of £73.18s6d and from that time it was agreed by Wager and Harrison that I should have interest on £2000 until the legacy was settled". Writer thinks he cannot be wrong in calling William's friend Mr Atkinson to write to William but at present will not take any other step.
+ letter from Kate in general terms. Poor Uncle John much distressed and agitated.
