Was in Boston six weeks previously and saw Joseph Peirce, who was making inquiries of me respecting Uncle Fluckers interest in Falmouth, and I think he was of opinion, that it would be best to make partition of such lands as were undivided, with the heirs of Uncle Francis Waldo & Isaac Winslow; it is what I very much wish to have done, as I am persuaded it is for the interest of all the heirs... Notes that each heir can dispose of their part as they see fit. Adds that if Knox is going to decide on a plan of general division, he hopes it can be done quickly: I have it in contemplation to apply to the Supreme Court, for commissioners to be appointed to make an assignment to me of my share unless some mode of division can be agreed upon by all the heirs. Mentions since he last saw Knox in Boston, Partridge has commenced an action against Cooper's claim and Nathan Winslow. The issue of the action was favorable to Partridge in court, but there has been an appeal. Notes that there is a lack evidence of improvement on Cooper's claim because the witnesses have all died. In consequence, it is imperative to get Uncle Fluckers papers sent to Boston. Sympathizes with Knox over the loss of his son Marcus.
Wishes he could give her a precise idea of the estate, of our late mother in this Country [Hannah Waldo Flucker] one half of which belongs to your children. Notes that the land is not yet divided and its boundaries have to be verified by the state of Massachusetts. Hopes to be able to devote the next three months to settling the respective boundaries and legal intricacies of the Muscongus or Waldo patent for the Waldo heirs. Notes that sale of the Falmouth estate lands should be postponed until a higher price can be obtained. Reports that the lands of her father-in-law, Thomas Flucker, were confiscated by Massachusetts (many Loyalist lands were confiscated after the Revolutionary War). Notes that Hannah Waldo's lands were held by her and were not transferred to Thomas; this land consisted of the fifth part of Samuel Waldo's Muscongus [Waldo] Patent, and was not confiscated. Complains that trespassers on the Waldo patent are so numerous and so powerful that they cannot be ejected. Comments that her family had previously overestimated the worth of their inherited lands. Promises to make every exertion possible on behalf of her and her fatherless children to obtain their proper inheritance. Location inferred.
Discusses a variety of subjects related to the Flucker estate and the Waldo patent lands. Signs also on behalf of Isaac Winslow, his brother Samuel Winslow, and their cousin the elder Isaac Winslow, all of whom are also executors on the Flucker estate.
Discusses business related to the Waldo patent, specifically pertaining to Coopers claim. Expresses his wish that Knox may tend to obtain a recovery of our claim, which is too valuable to be any longer neglected - it contains 1009 acres, and on computing the several sums my grandfather paid for title deeds, it appears to have cost him about 1230 [lbs] this currency.

For a reference to the date of Winslow's last letter to him, 17 February 1786, see GLC02437.03243. Discusses attempts to get Mrs. Waldo to release her claim on the Waldo patent lands. Is glad to hear that a Mr. Robbins is helping Samuel Winslow in his attempts.
