| Text | Robert C. Morse Attorney at Law Kewanee, Ill. April 24, 1929 Miss Elizabeth Nicholson, 703 North School St Normal, Ill. Dear Miss Nicholson: I returned from Calif last Thursday and am working on your father's estate matters. I was in Cambridge Monday and talked with the judge about the form of your mother's report and administratrix. He said the report should contain a date -- much that all the kin have conveyed to your mother their entire interest in the property, setting out a list of the property as in the inventory list which you have me; that the report should further state that all the heirs acknowledge that they have transferred all witness to their mother; that they have read the report and fully approve the same and waive notice of hearing on the report and enter their appearance for the purpose of such hearing and counsel to the approval of the report. The report should also show the payment of due tax and funeral bills, hospital bill if any, and all other claims against the estate and recupitulation voucher for such payments should be furnished. Will you therefore kindly give me the amounts of all bills, to whome paid and for what and receipts or cancelled check for same. I assume that all the kin will sign such a report and it will have to be sent to kin not in Kewanee. I shall therefore need the post office addresses of those out of Kewanee. Proof of kinship also must be made and this will require that some one go to Cambridge who knows [tu] himself and testifies to same. There is [?] to Cambridge by way of [?] and [?] is about the only way of getting there now aside from going on the train and staying all day. I have talked by phone with Mrs. Wm. Nicholson. She gave me your address and stated that you and your mother would come to Kewanee Friday if the weather is not too bad. If you do come, kindly call me at office in home when you get here so that we may arrange to do as much as possible while you are here. [?] will try to make proof of himself and get their report ready while you are here. If you do not come, kindly answer at once and fully all the requirements of this letter. Your [?] truly Robert C. Morse | |
