December. I heard that your brother
[Gel?] is dead and he left a lot
of money after him and he was
not married and your
brother John children is got it [sic]
in court and trying to get
it and I thought I would write and
let you know about it for I thought
that you had a better right
to it the [than?] the brothers children
The only way you can get it is to
give it into a lawyer [lawyer's?] hands
and perhaps he would write to
this court and help to get

number of place. I live in Salem
and he is dead about 2 months.
