          Bridgetown Jany [ ]th 1842
Dear Sir           I want you if you can to send me
a coppy of the Will, what I want to know is
about mother’s third and my two shares I went to
Loyier [lawyer] Morse to know a little about my to [two] shares.
he tells me theirs is no doubt but I am entitled to it.
he asked me if there was a Will, I told him I thought
their [there] was. he said he would like to see a coppy of it before
he could tell me exactily. I was telling him if how they
wanted to divide it and sit it up at Auction and
sell it. he says no says he they cannot sell yours land
without your consent. he says if you are willing
to sell they can buy out. otherwise they must
consent together
          Yours John Easson
