Your brother must come
before one of the magis–
–trates, & his acct you
must send on, with your
own. — I think you had
better try this method. –You
may see by the 16th Sec–
–tion of your Commission,
that you have power to
enter into an Agreement
for materials; and, where
the owner of them is un–
–willing, even to force
your way; and have them
appraised.
            Yours truly,
          I. Corbitt
