The Royal Mail: Its Curiosities and Romance
·

"MISSOURI.
"You
must
excuse
me
for
writing
to
you
for
I
dont
know
any
one
in
England.
I
know
the
names
of
no
lawyers,
and
thought
I
would
write
to
you.
We
have
seen
it
in
our
paper
several
times
of
money
being
left
to
the
----
heirs,
and
heard
that
a
Lawyer
of
London
made
a
flying
visit
to
St
Louis
to
find
the
heirs,
but
failed.
My
father
was
born
and
raised
in
----
England.
His
name
was
----
the
oldest
son
of
three.
My
parents
died
shortly
after
we
came
to
America,
and
I
was
quite
small.
I
know
but
little
about
any
of
them.
I
remember
hearing
my
Father
say
that
he
had
rich
relatives
who
intended
to
make
him
their
heir.
I
am
very
poor;
lost
everything
during
the
war.
If
you
know
of
some
lawyer
who
will
see
to
it
without
money
as
I
have
none
to
invest.
Please
answer
to
tell
me
what
you
think
you
can
do
for
me."
"As
I
have
no
correspondent
in
London
at
present
I
adopt
this
plan
of
procuring
one
that
I
can
transact
business
through--the
matter
I
wish
to
call
your
attention
to
is
this--To
the
estate
of
----
and
the
heirs.
The
papers
were
sent
here
once
but
have
been
lost.
----
died
in
London
about
45
years
ago
and
left
a
large
estate
of
which
my
client's
interest
would
be
about
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
at
the
time
of
his
death--Will
you
please
inform
me
what
it
is
necessary
for
us
to
do
in
the
matter
in
full."
