Eitem 488. - Wm Thomas, St Jago De la Vega, Jamaica, to Mr Edwd Williams, Phlemingston nr Cowbridge,

Thomas and Miles came to an agreement before the former went to America that the last survivor should have the whole. Thomas died in 17 days after arriving at Eddington, North Carolina, in Feb. last year. He is certain that Miles will die intestate, leaving his property in a very deranged state. The Chancery business between him (Miles) and his sister is yet undecided. Urging the addressee to come out himself or to appoint some substantial person or persons to act as his attorney. Naming two who are ready with the writer to give every assistance. A message for his own family. (For a copy of another letter from Wm Thomas see No. 639).
