References a late letter sent to his wife Lucy stating "that the creditors of your father in England expected to recover from the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, the public security what you held in trust and what passed into your husbands hands." Says that the letter inferred Hannah felt there was hope of the bonds being canceled to recover the securities belonging to Lucy. Notes if Hannah can get back her securities, then Lucy should be able to get hers back as well. Has written to Thomas Longman about these changes of events.
