Milwaukee, Wis May 7, 1882 My dear father, The enclosed letter and papers. I need from? London Sat forwarded to me from [?] I think as I am to my [?] [?] as we certainly know of no one there whom could limit as in [?] him and who could manage as he has I have been writing him this morning to this effect that the properly [?] be sold before [?] if a possible thing. He would manage the master more conscientiously than anyone else would and would end it all further trouble in this matter. It seems there is a delin- quint tax under Mary's name of which we have known nothing nor? it seeing Hillie & I in looking over this matter yesterday? let it looked quite complicated and so many names appear and yet the property is recorded in my name. I hav'nt a single paper in my possession to show that I have any part or lot in this matter so my title is not my? Hillia think but no doubt you can explain things so they will seem clear-wish I could see you have a talk on the subject.
