Letter signed C.M. Robertson, New Albany, Indiana, to his uncle P.N. Hicks, St. Louis, Missouri, regarding the deed disposing of the estate of Milton Hicks. “. . . . The heirs in this part of the country have asked that Uncle Jo and myself correspond with you. There seems to be very hard feelings between you and Uncle Jo, so by common consent the burden of writing falls on me. The heirs desired information from you—Something thing that you are bound by law to give. I address you a kind letter asking this information from you. How do you treat me? In silence. . . . The present business demands “Manly” action on your part, not the action of a spoilt child. If you an Uncle Jo have differences, for the respect you have for the heirs of your lamented Bro Milton, keep them out of this business. . . .”, 1878 Aug 15, Box: AF: Hi-Hof, Folder: 5. Presley N.
