The legacy to Mrs Grace M'Whinney [McWhinney?] is lapsed by her death. This remittance would have been made sooner, but the will reads "I desire my special legacies to be paid as soon after my death as they can be without sacrificing my property" &c To make this payment I have sold Geo. RR [Georgia Railraod?] Stock, which [---?] at par, and was appraised at 90, at 76 over 15 % loss. Very truly Yours J.J.Bean Executor You can report again the balance in your hands at Mr Campbells death, and say whether I shall draw on you for the amount, or what disposition shall be made of it. J.J.B. Mrs Bean, who was formerly Miss Harriet C.Smith desires her regards and grateful remembrance to Mrs Allen and yourself. She still wears and greatly prizes a small gold locket presented to her by Mrs Allen many years since. |
