Barnes, Col. Abraham of Leonardtown, 6/29/1773-1/13/1778. In 1764
I gave my son John a very sufficient quantity of goods to begin
trade and merchandise. Contrary to my expectations, he has carelessly
lost and sunk all I gave him and is more in debt than I am able
to pay, he having stripped all the ready money I had and has involved
me in a very considerable security to Osgood, Hanberry and Company,
merchants in London, and others. On the whole, this will amount
to an equal share of my estate, but above all, he has robbed me
of my happiness and peace of mind at a time of life when I expected
to be free from any disturbance or anxiety. When he
reflects on this and that this profound unhappy condition and misfortune
is entirely owing to his own obstinancy in rejecting my advice and
opinion in all things and at the same time not informing himself
of the true state of his affairs and endeavors to keep everything
material from my knowledge. From this melancholy consideration,
he cannot, with any reason, expect any further favor or indulgence
from me. Therefore, I give all to my son, Richard Barnes.
