Charity: Dwelling House & 4 acres & half of Land were left for the uses your Lordship will see in the Copy of the Will inclosed. [The] Donation is inadequate to the uses intended. But the Trustees are resolved, if possible, to get possession of the Estate, in order to fulfil the Intention of the Testatrix as far as the Income of it will permit. They have hitherto been kept out of it by a Person who I believe has not the least Right or Title to it. The House is fallen down.
