Consulate of the United States at Londonderry

October 31 1877

Mrs Clarke
I have received
a part of your share of the
Brooks Estate and send you
my cheque for the same
being a few pence less than
£110 the lawyers fees and
£4 for myself being deducted.
There is now a fair prospect
of obtaining by a sale of
Fair's land & house (deeply
mortgaged) about £300
more.
Much credit is due to
my agent for the perseverence [perseverance?]
and patience with which
he has dealt with the
matter. Fair, the executor
who had most of the money
is deeply involved, and
much of the time drunk
and he has managed to
make a great deal of
trouble.
It will require two
or three months it is
said, to go through the forms
of a sale of the real property
But my agent thinks it
will fetch the balance
£300.
Please sign & return
the inclosed [enclosed?] [?]
