Dear Sir. Your letter was received on the 7th instant notifying my wife Mary Ann Hollowell of the death of her uncle James Claydon, a native of Fringford County of Oxford England lately of the United States of America. My wife not being able to write very well, she has deported me to answer your letter wishing that you will please to send her further instructions in regard to the mode of procedure regarding the business entrusted to you and if her presence will be required at Greenfield and which is the nearest route to take to reach Greenfield. You will perceive by the enclosed address that she has removed from Flushing Ave to No. 16 Cook St near Ewen St, Williamsburg more properly Brooklyn Eastern District.

Yours Truly,

Mary Ann Hollowell
