| Transcript | Augusta Ga [Georgia?] March 6th 1875 Wm. J. C. Allen Esq Ulster Bank Belfast Ireland Dear Sir I duly received your esteemed favour of the 19th Jan., with enclosures as stated, for which you have my thanks. I enclose receipt for your remittance of œ13.18.3 The receipts were all in order and I regret the trouble you were subjected to in procuring them. By this time you will have received from Messrs. J. & J. Stuart of New York bill for œ30 from Mrs Grace O Giltenan for the use of her sister Miss Lucinda Carroll - and a bill from proceeds of $2525 for distribution amongst the Legatees of Mr. Campbell pro rata upon their respective amounts, as stated in my letter of the 11th or 17th of Dec. last. I hope very soon to be able to send the balance $2525 and I will now explain the cause of my disappointment and delay. In the month of June last I sold a piece of property in the city for $9,000 payable 3,000 1st July,[--?] 1st Oct, and 3,000 1st Jun. 1875. The two first payments were duly made, but upon preparing to make a deal for the final payment the claim of titles was found incomplete and is not yet perfected. This money was intended for the Irish Legatees, and had it been paid the full amount of $5050 was to have been remitted in June. The lacking deeds have been traced, and a demand made for them, but it may require an order of court to obtain them, in which event there may be two or three months further delay. The purchaser has ten times the amount due, on deposit in the Bank of which I am cashier, and is ready and anxious to to pay as soon as titles can be perfected. In the meantime I am offering other property for sale to pay the balance due though you, and about $15000 more to be paid in this city. - and I have good reason to think I shall be able to send the $2525 to you by or before the 1st of April next. I trust this explanation will satisfy all the Legatees, and you may safely assure any who may feel the least anxiety that the delay is but temporary, and the full payment is certain. Very truly yours J. J. Bean Executor Mrs Bean was delighted to hear of Mrs Allen and she promised a note to accompany my letter, but she is now absent on a visit to our oldest son, the Rev. Wm. [William?] S. Bean, Washington. I saw Miss Hannah Longstreet in Church on Sunday, looking quite well, but did not have an opportunity of speaking to her. Very truly J. J. Bean. |
