Writes, The melancholy misfortune which has lately befel [sic] our family in the death of Mr Isaac Winslow Senr will in some measure retard the business of the patent, but only for a short time as my brother Samuel Winslow who is now here is included in the powers of attorney with my cousin. Mr Waldo we daily expect, he is still of opinion that your offer is far short the value; but the first post his arrival we shall [certainty?] give you our answer. Stamped FREE.
