Sir, Hopkinton Novr. 13, 1773
    At the desire of Colo. Jones this is to signify to you, that Iwas present with the late Colo. Jones decd. at the time of his making, + signing his Last Will, + Testament, that He Dictated to me and I wrote it for him. And from what then passed I am very sure that He design'd that the Land therein bequeath'd to his two Daughters Saltmarsh, and Homes at an estimated price should be consider'd as part of their Legacy of £50. In this I am confirm'd because whereas the Legacies of £50. to each Daughter was to be paid out of an appropriated fund, when a Doubt was started whether said fund would be sufficient, He Replied that it undoubtedly would because said Legacies at least some of them were in a great measure paid by these very lands + certain notes of hand which He had against them, or their husbands, + made a rough calculate for that purpose.
    I am with Great Esteem + Respect, Sir, Your most Humd. Servt.
