The 3 letters 1892

Letter 01 Godfrey House, Wirksworth, Nr Derby January 20th 1892 Dear Mr Burnett, In the first place I address you as Mr Burnett, because I do not personally know you, I am one of the Taylor's formerly of Sharplow Tissington, and it is at my brother Willie's request that I write to you, himself my father & I have first entered on a small Farm and as we have not quite sufficient ------ ?? to stock it, we should be glad to know if it would be convenient for you to advance Willie a portion of the money left to him by Uncle John Burnett; he is now twenty years of age and will attain his majority next October, so that if you could kindly let him have seventy or eighty pounds, we should deem it a kindness if you would let us know at your earliest convenience. With kind regards Believe me Yours truly M? Taylor -------- Your letter of the 20th inst.duly received & in reply must say it takes me by surprise. As one of the Executors of my late father I really am not aware there are any monies arising to your brother by your late Uncle Jno S? Burnett. If you think & will show me cause I will undertake the matter shall have immediate consideration. With kind regards to your father & yourself January 22 1892 ---------------- Letter 02 Godfrey House, Wirksworth January 23rd 1892 Dear Mr Burnett, Many thanks for your letter received this morning Tue 23rd. I must say I cannot understand why you should have been taken by surprise. If you will kindly refer to the will of my late Uncle Mr John Burnett, that will explain the matter. As my brother is the youngest of the family it seems strange there should be a mistake ------- with reference to his share of the monies left to us, as the sons were to take double the share of the daughters. Hoping you will kindly consider it and reply as early as possible. With kind regards Believe me Yours truly M Taylor Mr Burnett Gladstone Grove ------- PS I find I have made one mistake in my last letter, as to the age of my brother he will be twenty next October I have yours of the 23rd I cannot help thinking you must be labouring under some misapprehension seeing your Uncle John Burnett died some time before your brother Willie was born -------- Letter 03 Godfrey House Wirksworth Dear Mr Burnett, I thank you for your letter of the 26th January 1892 I do not see how I can be labouring under any misapprehension. Uncle's Will is clear enough as it states that £600 is left in trust for such of the children or child now and hereafter to be born of my sister Anna Maria wife of ----- William Taylor as shall live to attain the age 21 years. Now my sister's brother and myself have only received the sum of £480 amongst us so there is in your hands £120 for brother Willie. If my brother Willie is not entitled to the £120 he as you state being born after Uncle's death, there can be no doubt but what my sister, brother & myself are entitled to it. I would also call your attention to a fact in --------- the will that Uncle intended all Mother's children to share as should be born to her before she was forty eight years of age. Waiting an early reply. With kind regards. Yours truly M.Taylor January 26th 1892 Jany 28th Not answered [signed] ---------
