In answer to yours of the 22 instance.
We think that Mr Parnaby’s claim not being a debt of Granmother’s that it has
no right to be paid out of her estate & that we cannot sign any thing under the circumstances. We should be very much obliged to you if you could let us have
a statement of affairs & when they are likely to be settled, if you conveniently can.
Our names are
Margaret Sunderland, aged 34 years
Jane Laycock aged 25 “
Ann Theakston aged 23 “
Elizabeth Theakston aged 17 “
I am Yours &c H. R. Laycock

Mr Pearson
Dear Sir,
My brother wishes me to reply to your letter for him, and to thank you for your
statement of affairs. He was anxious to know the particulars. We are very much
obliged to you, and offer our sincere thanks for all your trouble, and very much
regret that any one should cause you annoyance. My brother will write to
Uncle George Farnaby now that he knows how things stand. And we hope that
things will be arranged quickly.
Again, thanking you for the trouble you have taken and for the many acts of
kindness you have shown to Auntie Theakston in her lifetime.
Remaining, Yours Sincerely

and my husbands signatures.
Yours Sincerely,
