To Mr. J–, Advocate 

10/3/1818

Dear Sir,

I did not fail to reply to your letter dated September 18, but you did not reply to mine until the 25h of the month, in which I asked you if, in your capacity as executor of the will, you had withdrawn all the funds owed for the estate of the late Mr. Birbiguier. 

I will tell you again, sir, constantly: Please work with the lawyers to bring this matter to a close. Without that, I cannot know how I should proceed.

With honor,

M.B.
