Book Description
Responds to a letter from Flucker in which Flucker expressed his desire to settle the terms of his deceased father's estate. Informs Flucker that in 1778 the Commonwealth (of Massachusetts) passed a law seizing properties without a formal trial. The property of Thomas's father was seized, but the portion of the estate brought by Thomas's mother, Hannah Waldo Flucker, could not legally be seized. Discusses the complexities of Samuel Waldo's (Flucker's grandfather) Penobscot Estate (also known as the Waldo patent, it was not legally divided among his heirs). Worries about the future of the estate, noting The endeavors on my part shall be working to secure the family as much as possible... Written in Dorchester, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
