Ballure 23d May 1808.
Mr Thos Martin the bearer informed me that one half of a yawle which
was appraised and sold by him at Auction as part of the estate of his father
and inventoried has since been sold by virtue of the Honorable Deemster
Crellin's order and execution for materials furnished at
building the said yawle by John Quilliam Coroner of Garff Sheading for
less money than that which he was first sold.  You will therefore please
to allow him to deduct the sum for which he sold her for from the
auction sale before a distribution will be made of the estate as it would
otherwise be less of ©6 1 shilling to the bearer complying with which
will oblige.
John Christian.
