[Letter from Madden, Trulove and Kimbrough to Henry Sayles, December 17, 1914] (open access)

[Letter from Madden, Trulove and Kimbrough to Henry Sayles, December 17, 1914]

Letter from Madden, Trulove and Kimbrough to Henry Sayles discussing a client who has owned 5,000 acres for about fifteen years. This property was earlier ordered to be retained by executors of the deed and given to Emily B. Gillespie and Mary E. Sayles as inheritance. The conveyance of the land by Gillespie, Sayles and Sayles' husband John is objected as it is uncertain whether Gillespie and Sayles are the only heirs to the land. It was also objected due to clerical error. The writers ask for as much information as possible about the land.
