Letter from C E E Wolseley Jenkins at Salcombe, Devon to John Hatfield Brooks. [written on black edged writing paper]. Has been to the offices in London and saw Mr C E Jenkins about Brooks’s daughter’s settlement. ‘quite impossible for us to do anything…if your Marianne had made a will after her marriage she could have left it as she pleased so I am given to understand. From what I could gather it might be quite worth your while to take legal advice but as the case stands now the trustees & executors have no option but to enforce the deed. I am awfully sorry about it all. We had arranged to leave our children at Weston during my short leave; but alas when we got to Marseilles we heard they had got measles so we had to come to them here where we left them last October. We have to start out again on 18th May…’
