[NOTE: Document (34) is missing.]

The subject of this extremely voluminous complaint is that the above [Johanna Philipse, Frederick Philipse, Philip Philipse, Beverley Robinson and wife and Mary Philipse] were entitled to 1/8 of the personal property of Adolph Philipse; that Joseph Reade, who married Anna, daughter of Philip and Ann French, was appointed administrator and was instructed to take advice upon all matters with Joseph Murray, Esq., that the personal estate was very large and that Philip French and Cornelius Van Horn had brought suits for large sums and that Reade, without consulting his counsel and apparently with intent to favor his relations, had confessed judgment without making any defense, and refused to make any effort to have the judgment set aside. That claims for vary large sums were made by Frances Van Cortlandt, executrix, Frederick Van Cortlandt, executor of Jacobus Van Cortlandt, deceased, and that Read in the same manner had confessed judgment for 4,000 pounds, although most of the claims were fictitious, among others a large sum for board while visiting at the house of Jacobus Van Cortlandt as a relative, neither expecting to pay nor Mr. Cortlandt ever expecting to charge for the same.
