From Mr. de L–, Advocate

10/12/1818

Dear Sir,

I do not know why you blame me for the delay in the matters of your uncle’s estate, when you know, as I have told you, there is nothing more I could do in this matter, and in fact have taken no action for quite some time. Everything currently depends on Mr. Y–, who is responsible for the settlement; however, it must be said that it is not his fault that this has not been completed. Mr. J–’s account must first be settled. It has not yet been settled due to some difficulties he has caused, and on which we have not been able to agree until now, because, having been absent for a few days during the holiday, I am not fully aware of what has happened and been done over the past month. I will get back to this and do my utmost to bring your affairs to a conclusion. In Mrs. Berbiguier’s best interests, I desire it as much as you do.

With respect and warmest regards, 

De L–
