Thur. April 2, 1801 April 2, 1801
   I Hereby cetify, that some time prior to the decease of MRS. THOMPSON, late 
wife of MR. JOHN THOMPSONS of Wilmington (and at the period when in perfect 
consideration) she, the said MRS. THOMPSON, informed me, that she expected 
from her ill state of health, not to survive many months in this life, and in 
consequence of which she had made a reserve of seven hundred dollars, which 
sum was in Philadelphia Bank Bills; that she had deposited the aforesaid Bills 
in the hands of a person of respectability, residing nearing Wilmington; that 
said sum whould be retained in the hands of the aforesaid person, not 
exceeding one month after her death, when the person with whom the money is 
deposited would come forward and deliver the same to me, to be divided between 
her three daughters.
                                           THOMAS HEATLEY
   A few hours previous to the decease of my former wife, she informed me in a 
very imperfect dialect, that she had deposited a sum of money in the hands of 
some person, the amount I am not aware of. A length of time having elapsed 
since the period of her decease, and no person having come forward on that 
occasion, I am induced to believe, that the person  holding the aforesaid 
money, has carelessly laid it aside, and through neglect has not complied with 
his obligation.
   I therefore take this method to remind and request the person so entrusted 
to come forward and deliver the aforesaid Bills, to any one of my daughters 
(JANE, MARY and SARAH) for which I will give a generous donation, if required.
April 2, 1801                          JOHN THOMPSON
