June 5, 1835;  Dudley. To Theophilus Wheeler Esq.

Dear Sir,
Send to you my account as Executor of the last Will and Testament of Abigail Healey, deceased, which with the accompanying paper I wish you to lay before Judge Paine for his examination.  I expect the heirs will be cited to appear, if they see fit at some future time to show cause if any they have why the accounts should not be allowed, if so, will you cause it to be published in the Spy, and ask the publisher to charge to expense to me for a short time.
I have made oath to the account before George A. Tufts Esq. as it was his opinion that it would be lawful if it is not, and it will be necessary for me to take oath before Judge Paine, I will attend to it as soon as convenient.
My charge for administration you will observe is in one sum - the most difficult and expensive part of which was the investing of the $150 in Real Estate for Mrs. Phipps - Although I accomplished the business after considerable delay by the assistance of friend without making a journey to Oppenhiem, NY by transporting the money three times to and from Oppenhiem by mail, yet I believe the Heirs would not have complained had I made a journey to Oppenhiem and charged the Estate with my time and the expenses; indeed Mr. Phipps, thought at first that I could not possibly accomplish the business without making the journey.
You will observe a Receipt for $28 paid Mrs. Phipps for interest, of which I have made no account, believing it was justly due to Mrs. Phipps, and in no part of it due to the other Heirs -
With the foregoing explanations, I submit the Papers to you, and wish you to lay them before the Hon. Judge with a hope that the business may be completed without my presence, at least till after the close of the next session of the Legislature.
I will request Mr. Tufts to call on you next week, by whom I wish you to imform me what progress shall have been made in the business.

I am yours very respectfully,      William Hancock
