Cooper

Source 014 – Official Letter: George E. Nichols, Estate of Alta Thomas

March 15, 1915 by Admin

Author: George E. Nichols of Ionia, MI
Title: Letter to Mrs. Charles R. Thomas [Iva M. (Cooper) Thomas] of East Jordan, MI
Date: 15 March 1915
Curator: Christine Fisher

My dear Mrs. Thomas:
Yours of the 11th at hand. I note what you say in relation to Charlie’s condition and tell him not to worry about the statement that I sent him, or the application to the probate court for the allowance of his final account, but just let that matter stand as it is until he has entirely recovered his nerve. The thing is all right anyway and I told the Judge of Probate that Charlie was sick and it might be some time before he got around with the account and he said, all right, to take our time for it, so there is no use worrying about that.

I hope that the indication of pus doesn’t mean that he will be laid up very much longer. I know you are having a very unfortunate time but things will clear away. I have been through the same proposition in different ways when I could see nothing but a dark cloud in front of me and yet in time it has cleared itself up and everything was all right. Now you tell Charlie, in relation to the estate, that I will look into that some day when I am in Grand Rapids and find out what is being done and will report to you so he will know about it.

I hope that he will come along fast now and that you will be able to pass on your worries in a little while. I remain,
Yours truly, George E. Nichols, Lawyer, Ionia, Michigan

Commercial Hotel, East Jordan, Michigan

Dear Mrs. Thomas:
I have your letter of the 10th. I do hope that Charlie will come on rapidly now and I do not want to have you get discouraged. I sent you a check as requested, which I presume you have received before this, and I sent a statement of the township matter to Charlie at Ellsworth, which perhaps will reach you before you leave East Jordan.

If there is anything you want me to do about looking after the estate or getting money out of your brother, or anything of that kind, I will look after it.
Yours truly,
George E. Nichols, Lawyer, Ionia, Michigan
