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.
