Dear Sirs:
Your form of 21^st instant reached me in due course. I communicated with Widow Hussey. She was in town today and states that she cannot get Securities for her Administration of her late husbands Estate. She requested to take out the administration as a Commissioner of the Supreme Court if you deem it fit, have papers forwarded to me and I will act. The amount at which the estate is valued is too high. It consists of deposit in Savings Bank - $286.00. House and its furniture situate in Island Cove - $150.00 = $436.00, say five hundred dollars. As a proof of value, Adams and his wife gives Mr Hussey house bed &c and take for their share the pounds which they agree to sell to Mrs Hussey for $48.00. The house is small.

It in pounds would not realize in better times than now more than $100.00. It is well she did not get security small as the estate is. She has not faculty enough to arrange it.
I return the papers sent.
Yours respectfully
A. T. Drysdale
