We, the undersigned being three of the persons appointed by an order of the Corporation Court of Fredericksburg to appraise the estate of William Allen, dec'd, being first duly sworn for that purpose, have performed that duty & herewith return the appraisement, ammounting to $15,100.25. There was exhibited to us a list of debts due to the estate amounting to above $15,000, which list we examined & are of opinion that about $5,000, of said debts may be good, the residue we consider doubtful & desperate.
