To Mr. J–, Advocate

6/12/1818

Dear Sir,

I had the honor of writing to you on the 21st of last May, although you did not bother replying. However, you forwarded the documents related to the inheritance to Mr. Y–, notary. The co-hers were to meet on the 29th of the same month. After the reading of said documents, we soon realized that you still had other critical documents in hand. 

What reasons do you have to keep the documents in question? You must understand that this game does not amuse the relevant parties. They look with a shudder at the enormity of the costs that an even longer delay will bring them, and which you should protect them from. 

It seems clear that every possible means is being used to drag this affair out. Please, once and for all, put an end to this delay on your part, and let all of us end this. 

Sincerely,

M.B.
