She has a long time delayed sending her daughter to the monastery, waiting for the coming of her son who is now daily expected. Should he not be here before the last of this month, she will thankfully accept Timon's kind offer to wait for their tuition money until she gets the returns for her tobacco. She wishes to send four of her daughters and to place them under his guidance and care. Mr. Davis has been harassing her ever since he took out letters of administration; the suit comes on Monday in the Circuit Court for the debt of $675 she owes the estate. If her tobacco sells at a tolerable price, she will have from $800 to $1,000 to pay it with. She has now in Orleans 9 hogsheads since June and has no returns as yet. Davis prays the Court to give an execution immediately; he is about to pocket all the proceeds of personal property for his administrationship, etc.. Colonel Ranney says that it is altogether illegal. She wrote to her son last week but is fearful he will not be in time to save her land. Could Timon see Mr. Scott and get his opinion; she would be glad to have Scott attend to her business. Davis has taken every advantage of her; he brings in as a set off the crop she made the year after her husband's death. She must be at $200 expense toward keeping the family or enter into a lawsuit. Timon is to pray for her and to present her respects to Father Odin and beg his prayers. She asks to be remembered to Mother Benedict and the Sisters. She will endeavor to come up to make her Easter, if not with her daughters. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. folio
