Port-Jervis, January 24, 1852
Uncle,
Will you be kind enough to inform me at what
time I may depend upon some decisive action by the
executors of the S. S. Seward
Birth: 1768-12-05 Death: 1849-08-24
estate.
Allow me to say kindly, but most plainly, that unless
some definite information is communicated within ten days
from the date of this letter, I shall petition the Surrogate
at once, to cite the Executors to show cause why distribution
of the Estate should not be made immediately. This step
I have been indisposed to take without giving you previous
intimation.
My intention is communicated to Mr Grier
Birth: 1802-09-27 Death: 1878-12-20
also in an
letter having the same date with this.
Respectfully,
Augustus Seward
The Honorable
William H. Seward
Executor &c
