Letter signed T.A. Lowe, Union, Mo., to Jno. F. Darby [John F. Darby], St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Jane Hodges is mistaken. Lowe never had a partner named Crowe. Jeffries and Thomas Crowe were law partners in 1869 when her husband divorced her. She was awarded $300 alimony, which has never been paid. It is probably uncollectible.
