My dear Sir
I am in receipt of your letter of the 11th Instant.1 And I will prepare and send for your approval a draft of your intended new will in conformity with the instructions contained in your letter.
I have drafts of your will and codicils of the dates mentioned in the accompanying memorandum.2 And if these are the will and codicils referred to, in your letter, and with reference to which your instructions are given I need not trouble you to send me the originals or copies.
I recommend you to execute the new will in duplicate. The expence of the duplicate is inconsiderable. And the security it affords is very desirable.
No time shall be lost in the preparation and despatch to you of the draft.
And I am | My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Wm. M Hacon
