Wrote to her sister [Lucy] by the last packet and is now writing to reinforce what she said "relative to the legacy of my Uncle." Says "I have great reason to believe the Mortgage is taken of & consequently you are satisfied - if so I conjure you to inform me without delay as it is of the utmost consequence to me to know it." Says she has nothing to add other than she recently removed to town.
