". . . I do not see that you can reap much benefit from a sheriff's sale--those holding older Judgments will sell again & then your Title will appear to be imperfect--I think you will be obliged to foreclose your mortgage & then your title will be perfect and you may then sell to a better man if you can find one . . . .
"There can be no harm, but may possibly be some good, in giving notice to Gerard Walton--yet if there are other claimants, as no doubt there are, they are equally entitled to notice . . . .
"I hope my Ward will study to merit all your Goodness . . . ."
The identity of Burr's "Ward" is unknown.
