In part: “Mr. George Wentworth is now upon the point of bringing an action at Next Court to Recover the Legacy given to him by Mr. George Wentworth Decd. I should be glad that the matter might be accommodated without a suit. I conversed with Col. Atkinson upon the Subject and he has no objection to our bringing an action to try the validity of the will & hope you have no Objection to trying the strength of a will in which he is so deeply interested.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, trimmed left edge, and scattered toning.
