Description
This letter is from Thomas Morris (1776-1844), Ohio politician, serving as a lawyer in 1830. Morris' letter concerns the estate of the late Mr. Evans. Evans wished to leave his property to his three sons but he died without a will. The children appear to be squabbling about the proceeds of the estate. Morris has gone to court over the issue. The case has been forwarded to the Ohio Supreme Court. Morris tells Finley that he does not need to come, but he does need to advise as to the wishes of Mr. Strain and his wife. Do they wish to relinquish their right to their father's real estate or do they wish to fight for a portion? Abstract Number - 97
