At the end of about five weeks, I received a message from him, appointing me to come the next afternoon to settle with him. I waited on him accordingly, at the time appointed; when I found him attended by his attorney. He received me very coldly, and complained that I had used him ill in making enquiries, among the people belonging to the ship, concerning my brother’s effects; he asked me if I had taken out letters of administration, which he told me it was necessary I should do, previous to our finally settling accounts.
