1/2 Miscellaneous Papers 



From J[oseph] Growdon, Jr., to His Brother. 

 1728. March 30. Philadelphia. 



Begs to be pardoned if he has used unguarded language in his 

 last letter, which he assures him was due to youthful passions, rather 

 than resentment; he never endeavored to influence his father against 

 him; he knows nothing about his father's affairs or his will; he knows 

 his brother has a right to a considerable quantity of land in Pennsyl- 

 vania which has been sealed and improved or aliened and sold by his 

 father, and whatever rights he has, he will not dispute; assures him 

 that in whatever manner their father may dispose of his estate, he 

 will never dispute a point with him but in the kindest, most amicable 

 and affectionate terms; and rather than be involved in unnatural dis- 

 cord and unhappy division will make a voluntary resignation of his 

 own interest. A. L. S. 3 p. XLVII, 3.
