No date – William McCulloh vs Samuel McCulloh
William sues to recover sums of money from (his father) John McCulloh’s estate
15 September 1836 from Boston – William McCulloh to James W. McCulloh
Dear Brother,
Herewith you have my power of attorney to [know] when to settle with Dr. Samuel. I have delayed it this long on purpose to hear previously the fate of my dfs [defense] on him. You have also a copy of my letter of 3rd isnt, also his letters to me, which is rather a curiosity. Altho he seems quite guarded, yet it may go to know that he admits my claim as an heir to the estate. I am very anxious that it may be swiftly to a close, especially in Mother & sisters a/c.
You mention he says in a few years he will be able to dispose of the lands to advantage. A little money will probably be of more service ___ now than a larger sum a few years hence. Please let me hear from you. You can write by vessels going out from your port for Port a Prince or you can send your letters here addressed to care of Messrs Robinson & Plumer who will forward them directly. Shall embark in three weeks for Jamaica.
Truly yours, William McCulloh
