My Brothtr Richard thought fit to difpure the Matter with her, and went into Chancery-, but theprcfent Maftcr of the Roll', Sir Jofcph Jekyll, made a Decree in favour of the Widow. This, with other Things needlcfc to mention* occafioncd fuch a M.fundeiftanding betwixt the Mother and Soa that (he would never fee him to the Day of her Death. Her Son Aram, my Husband, conftantiy prepared the- Elixir for her, and Ihe gave him a Copy of thejOrigioal Receipt for that end, which Ihe never would give to my Brother Richard.
