McFarland has received the package by express from McCloskey and another by mail from Mr. Hayes. One plot was sold to Bishop Bernard O'Reilly in 1851. The other two plots he sold to J. Baggot and Michael Early and McFarland has bought them back for seven times the amount for which Corry sold them. Father John Corry had no property in Providence since he sold the lot to Bishop O'Reilly. McCloskey went to Probate Court Tuesday but the Judge postponed the matter until today. The papers were not satisfactory. The voucher from Hennessy was not signed. There was no deduction of Corry's expenses in coming to Providence. The receipt to Father John Brady has a different amount than the account. The administrator, when appointed by the judge, will decide on the voucher for Birge's $104. The judge made one bequest to John O'Reilly but insists that an administrator be appointed before the final settlement. The administrator should be sought by some creditors and McFarland sends a blank for that purpose to McCloskey. McCloskey should name the man he wants appointed in the form and a certificate from the Surrogate under seal saying that McCloskey had been appointed administrator of the estate of Father Corry. When the estate of O'Reilly is settled there will be little difficulty getting the other matter settled. McFarland does not want to have anything to do with the estate of O'Reilly, unless McCloskey can find no one else. The court will allow $5 to Hayes but no claim to Lamb unless it can be shown that Corry promised it. McFarland will keep the papers. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
