{"value"=>"Enclosing letter from the late President [Richard Henry Lee] and himself respecting the funeral expenses of their worthy friend [Samuel] Hardy: after writing same had agreed it should be inclosed to Henry in a private letter, with a request that it be laid before the legislature, provided the connections of the deceased were disposed to make the remittance in time to answer the payment here; Henry might be able to get information either from [John?] Tyler or the parties themselves; hopes he will pardon the trouble; would not have taken the liberty except for knowledge of the friendship subsisting between him and deceased; it was a point of delicacy not to offend relatives by an immediate application to the legislature, at the same time the money was needed to fulfil obligations."}
