Dear Mrs. Thomas:
Yours of the 2nd at hand. Charlie ought not to attempt by any means to come to Grand Rapids until he gets well so that he can do so in safety. If he should come down here he is liable to get badly hurt and laid up all summer. You tell him I say for him to keep quiet. Spring is now opening up and in the course of the next four weeks he will want to be in a position to get busy. I will look after the master of the settlement of the estate of the child [Viola Thomas], but have him send me down the administrator’s account signed by him so that notice can be given ahead for say three or four weeks and he can come down then and we will fix it up and get the whole thing arranged, but by no means should he attempt to come now, because we couldn’t clean it up if he did. I have the money in the bank here and I will look after it so there will be no trouble.
With best regards, Yours truly,
George E. Nichols, Attorney at Law, National Bank Annex, Ionia, Michigan

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

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
