Charlottesville 13 Jany. 1844.

D Sir

I learn by a letter just [?] but in a manner
too indefinite to found any actions upon that
a suit is pending in one of the Courts of Essex.
I presume the Superior Court and I take it
for granted in Chancery between Wormley's
[?} and the heirs of [?] Davis of
Middleson in which is involved the title to a
tract of land near [?] of which Mr Davis
[?] sensed many years ago and which appear
to have been sold his heirs or some of them to a
Mr Oakes

The same letter informed me that Mr Wright had
been employed as counsel for Davis' heirs but as
I can only conjecture that his address is Tappahannock
It is important to have the information
I seek without delay I take the liberty of the [?]
upon your Courtesy so far as to[?]
you to communicate this letter to Mr Wright if
he resided at Tappahanock or within [?]
and if otherwise to send me yourself a brief
statement of what I wish to know.

I am anxious to learn
The style of the suit that is the names of the parties
plaintiff and defendant and the [?] where
it is pending.
