May Reach Half Million In Sister Estate
The writer estimates their sister's estate may reach $300,000 to $500,000. She made a fortune in California about fifty years ago and left her infant child, now Ts. Murray, in the care of relatives. The sister was known as the Soldiers' Friend for acts of kindness to soldiers and those in distress. The death of Mrs Murray is suggested to be related to the sudden visit and may have been unexpected. A letter from her mentions no illness.
