She has just died and left me, as I understand, about L12,000, which I am to get when I am twenty-five.

Meanwhile I am to have the income, so I am glad to say I shall not cost you any more.

Also she has left me a large house in Lucerne with a beautiful garden and a lot of fine furniture, and some money to keep it up.

As I can't live there, I suppose it will have to be let.
"I hope you are very well.

Please give my love to Mrs.Parsons and tell her about this.
