Responds to a letter from Flucker in which Flucker expressed his desire to settle the terms of his deceased father's estate. Informs Flucker that in 1778 the Commonwealth (of Massachusetts) passed a law seizing properties without a formal trial. The property of Thomas's father was seized, but the portion of the estate brought by Thomas's mother, Hannah Waldo Flucker, could not legally be seized. Discusses the complexities of Samuel Waldo's (Flucker's grandfather) Penobscot Estate (also known as the Waldo patent, it was not legally divided among his heirs). Worries about the future of the estate, noting The endeavors on my part shall be working to secure the family as much as possible... Written in Dorchester, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.

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.
