Wallace there for whatever sum may be rec'd. after paying the expenses of collection & ___ will hereafter be to distribute amongst the heirs of Wm. Wallace.

Note A. The entry of $697.65/100 which refers to this note does not include any part of the costs deemed to be the heirs of Samuel Wallace, at the suit of Wallace's heirs against Grigsby & others, for this reason: I was appointed by the consent of all the heirs of Samuel Wallace, their agents to attend to & manage the suit then depending against Grigsby & others, for which it was understood that I was to be paid for my expenses & trouble out of the estate of William Wallace in the event of our failing against the Defendants Grigsby & C.: having succeeded against them. I have only charged the heirs of Samuel Wallace for my agency the amount of the costs decreed them in said suits. wherefore I have not carried any part of the costs recovered to the credit of William Wallace's Estate.
