| Transcript | James McCabe. Edmund G. McGilton. Lawrence Rath. McCabe, McGilton & Rath, Attorneys & Counselors, First National Bank Building, Omaha, Neb. 2/18/1899. Joshua E.Peel, I.L.S.I. Armagh, Armagh Co., Ireland. Dear Sir:- We represent Mary J. Thompson, daughter of Elizabeth Trotter Thompson (now dead) who was wife of Robert Thompson and a niece of Sir Trotter of Armagh, Armagh County , Ireland. About fifty years ago, Elizabeth Trotter married Robert Thompson against the will of her father and possibly against the will of her uncle, Sir Trotter and came to this country, where she resided until she died about five years ago at the age of about 57, leaving our client, Mary J. Thompson, her only issue. Elizabeth Trotter Thompson never communicated with her parents after coming here and they never knew her whereabouts or whether she was dead or alive. Sir Trotter who is supposed to have died within the past fifty years, was reputed to be quite wealthy, and as he was a bachelor, possibly remembered Elizabeth Trotter Thompson, or her issue in his will, or, if he died intestate, our client, through her mother, may be entitled to a share of the Estate. We notice by Klmes' International Directory that you have practiced law there since 1872, and therefore concluded that you may have known the Trotters, or some of them and could give us the information we are seeking, as to whether or not our client is entitled to any share of the Trotter estate. Or, if the probate records are in Armagh, it might not be too great a task for you to inspect them, in order to obtain information Our client is without any funds whatever and is in needy circumstnces [circumstances?], therefore, we cannot offer you any compensation now, but should investigation develop that she is entitled to a share in any estate there, we will be glad to have you to look after her interests, out of which you will be evntually [eventually?] paid. Trusting that we may be favored with your reply, we are, Yours truly, Dict'd [Dictated?]. McCabe McGilton & Rath |
