DOCUMENT MARKED "MR. CHAS. J. DEBEVOISE" 12/24/1888
I enclose herewith a statement of account of the executors of the
estate of James DeBevoise dec'd which is substantially correct; the
item, "amounts received and paid out", will probably vary a little
upon further examination, owing to the fact that the Executors have taken
receipted bills for repairs etc., for rent, and in the payment of
bills against the estate, have succeeded in getting reductions. The
amounts thus saved have been credited to the estate while the bills are
receipted as presented. The actual cash in the Executors hands at this date is
$761.44 and as the have kept the estate fund separate from their own,
from the first, probably errors have been made in entering the amount
received and paid out. In the accounting before the Surrogate the
mistakes will be found, involving as it does the examination of over
one hundred vouchers and about three times as many entries in the
books and as the whole matter must be restated before the Surrogate,
I do not deem the amount involved of sufficient importance to warrant
the expenditure of more time on it at present.
The item designated, "balance to be distrubited $81841.67", is
subject to an alleged claim of Mrs. Elmira Betts of $4605.45 with
interest from January 1, 1884 which the Executors believe to be
without foundation and have duly rejected, it is also subject to the
expenses of administration, commissions of Executors & expenses of
the accounting; none of which can be determined before the final
accounting. The reamainder will be divided according to the
directions of Mr. DeBevoise's Will.
The Executors desire me to say further that if any of those
interested in the estate wish to purchase any of the real estate (except the
farm at Hollis, which Mr. A. J. DeBevoise has elected to take) at the prices
designated and apply their share in the estate to the payment of it,
they may do so, and if more than one should wish any particular lot, at
the price named, they shall bid for it making the price named the
starting price. They already have a contract for the sale of one lot as
shown by the statement, and are negotiating for the sale of others at private
sale, if they are successful the estate will be saved the expense of a
public sale and the prices will probably be more satisfactory; at all
events the Executors are anxious to close the estate as speedily as the
interests of all concerned will allow, and if those interested do not care to
purchase, and they are unable to sell at private sale within a very
short time, the Executors will make a public sale of the whole.
Dated, December 24, 1888.
