John T. Heard Esq
Dear Sir,
I will present your paper-extract from will of Mrs Gurney -- to the Trustees, if you desire, but it is nothing on which they can act.
As I suggested to you, the only feasible plan I can see (if it can be accomplished, of which I am by no means certain) is to have the parties release enough from the income to enable you to make a perpetual contract with our Corporation for the care of the lot & get the S.J. Court to decree accordingly.
Then the subject comes up in shape for action by our board. Now they have no power.
Very Resp.y yrs.
A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
H.D. Bacon Esq San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir,
Your favor of from St. Louis respecting the disposition which Mrs Sophia L.B. Jones is alleged to have made in her will of lot no. 1131 in Mt Auburn was duly recd.
In reply, I have to say that Mrs Jones was on the , upon her own request designated to "represent" said lot under the Charter, an extract from which I send you. If Mr Thos. Jones devised this lot to his wife by will, it was hers to convey or devise again: but as she represents herself to be "administratrix" in the petition for the abovementioned designation, I can only infer that Mrs Jones left no will.
