McCloskey sends by tomorrow's express the statement of Father John Corry's account with the estate of Father James O'Reilly. The vouchers accompany, at least what he could find. He thinks McFarland will understand them better than himself. He does not know how the case stands with reference to the claim in the state of Maine and Mr. Hayes and the lawyer are trying to find out. Both the lawyers there and Hayes may present the bill for services. There is elsewhere a receipt of Reverend Mr. Bray and a certified claim of Bernard Lamb. Father J. Brady wrote to Father Conroy saying that Corry had accepted the claim but had not paid it. He does not find a receipt from Mr. Berge but besides being entered in Corry's account as paid it is also credited on the Day Cash Book. He did not trust the express with the mortgage itself, but it will be brought. When the account is closed McCloskey will cancel McFarland's name on the note and send it to him. He supposes the usual commission for settling the estate will be allowed. The balance held in the bank may be for that. He asks if Corry had any property in Providence. He supposes that the deeds found in the papers are for lands that have been disposed of, some of it to Bishop Bernard O'Reilly or to McFarland, but he sends the deeds if McFarland wishes to investigate. He would prefer to go and see McFarland but Lent begins next week and he does not want to be absent from home. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
