Boston April 14 1760 Sr.,

I wrote you in Octr. last, but have not have the pleasure of hearing from you since I saw you. I should take it extreemly kind if you would let me know What is like to be done abt. Mr. Freemans Estate. It is extreemly hard that after all the expence & trouble I was at which you well know was great that I should get Nothing. It lays with you Sr. & I doubt not you'll do the thing that is right, without obliging me to make another Voyage there. Pray let me hear how the affair Stands, that so I may judge. The Widow is the Only person that favrs. me with any letters & her whole concern is abt. being turnd out of the house. I should be glad of your advice about all these affairs, you know I respect you on many accts. & therefore hope to be favoured with a line from you. Yr. Obliged hble. sert.,

RTPAINE
