If after examination of the will you have sufficient to pay the legacy over & above this $1000. you may at once hand these papers to Mrs Dodge. If there is not sufficient - hold on to these - Please get a statement from Mr Jordan in the nature of a receipt on file for payment for his services - The interest of Mrs P.s estate was a little over $700 pr yr. $600 a year was to be paid her sister during her life - Mr. Jordan agreed to take charge of the estate for the difference - but as there was no agreement in writing I am aware that he may present a bill -
