John C. Page to Martha B. Eppes

30th Septr 1823

It will be necessary for you, my dear Madam, to give your overseers orders, to collect all the stock, Farming utensils, &c &c previous to Thursday—the Negroes, stock &c at Smiths, had better remain there—the appraisers can come down, more conveniently, than they can be carried to the house: the Negroes (except those about the house,) should have orders to assemble at the overseers house at 12 Oclk—this will be the best place for the stock & farming utensils to be collected.

Sinceerly my dear Madam yr friend
