Document written in question-and-answer format about financial matters relating to the estate of the recently-deceased Thomas Flucker. Docket attributes authorship of the answers to Benjamin Hichborn, but no author is listed for the questions. One question suggests that the author is an agent or executor for the estate, and therefore may be Henry Knox, Hannah Urquhart Harwood, Knox's sister-in-law, or a third party.
