Fitzhugh Lee to My Dear Charlie, 5 January 1884

My dr Charlie

Since writing you a postal just came – I have found the data you want – The amount paid to State first was $570.00 as your copy of auditors receipt will show – Of that amount I paid 430 – you 40 – & W.H.F.L. 100 –

I first paid $390 & W.H.F.L. $60 – $120 – have yet to be made up – & You & Rooney & I paid 40.00 more apiece

The six children of Uncle Carter at 500 each = 3000

The 6 p.c. on which is 180.00

Rooney & I paid Page a good fee to get that 2-1/4 settlement – Ought not the G.s pay their share of that – Look into it – Yrs
