S. MORAIS.
546 N. FIFTH STREET.
PHILADELPHIA, May 25th 1896
My Dear Emanuel
If I understand the terms of the copy of the will and codicil which you lately sent, I may say that they should stand, as at present. Henry has received from time to time some money, but I still hope that he will return it; if not, let him keep it, unless the amount goes up to several hundreds.
On account of my dear Gentile, it is ne--cessary to deal gently with Herman, but I do not think that the provision made is harsh. In justice to my unmarried daughters, I must see that their yearly income be enough to make them live comfortably. Please, let me have a copy of the will, up to date, and I shall sign it, as required, in the presence of the two witnesses.
You may have noticed that my re--quests about interment &c, were made many years ago. I am going to destroy the paper which contains them, and write again what I would wish and send my directions to Nina. Yours affectionately S Morais
Am I correct in believing that the present will is to prefer my children to my grand children, in case of certain contingencies arising? - Identifier
