To some of us, it does not seem right that some should have received money or other property from the estate and, appropriate to their own use, what did not belong to them individually, but to all of us together.
It was perfectly right and proper that mother should have what she needed for her own support and maintenance. This is the express provision of father's will. You will please refer to a copy of the will which you have.
But no one else should have accepted any of the estate property without making arrangements for returning same or its value in money. Had all been careful in this respect, there would have been more money to distribute now and no chance for a question as to each one's right to an equal share of what is left.
I trust this will explain the delay in sending your share of the money.

COPY OF PART OF FINAL REPORT
Your administratrix further reports that she has done everything in her power to settle the estate and collect all claims of every kind and nature, but has failed to collect a certain note held by the deceased and signed by Frederick Grandy and Mamie Grandy, his wife, of $90.00, and, in order to do justice to all the other children, your administratrix hereby attaches a copy of said note to this report, so that whenever the widow should pass away and the remaining estate divided, as by the will provided, namely, in equal shares among the remaining heirs at law, then this remaining note of $90.00 should be an offset against the inheritnace of the said Frederick Grandy.
