Dear Sir,

14th September, 1895.

re Mathew Payton Salemer, decd.

Referring to my former letter and our conversation regarding the accounts relative to the estate, you were good enough to produce certain papers, particularly:

1. a final balance sheet of Mathew Salemen's estate dated 20th June 1898.

2. Moffat & Co.'s account of Falconer & Co. to Nov: 1890.

3. a current account of Mathew Payton Falconer and Falconer to dated Sept 1890.

Will you be good enough to file the said accounts in the Supreme Court or send them to me to file before Mr. Justice Francis G.E. on my undertaking to return the papers to you when called upon to do so?

Yours faithfully,

M. Powell Esq.

...

Henry & Hoare.

Administrator of the Estate of M. & Falconer decd.
