Dear Cousin
I wish you would send by tomorrow mail, all the letters or other papers in your possession tending to show that W McCue intended the payments which he made in Nelson for the benefit of John Howard, to be either a debt or advancement - The question is now before the court & the judge would like to have the evidence to remove all doubt - I think you told me that you had seen some letters among Mr McCue's papers which would clear up the matter -
When will Mary be up? It is time she was coming home - Gussy is much better & [unclear: Mother Baldwin] has recovered almost entirely
Affectionately yours &
Alex H H Stuart
Mrs E. S. McCue
