New York, November 13 /68
Mrs. Abby Wolf, Present
Dear Madame!
I understand that you intend to buy the mortgage, which your daughter Sarah gave upon your property in Rahway NJ and that you will agree to pay the full value for it.
I have asked my lawyer today and he is of the opinion, that said mortgage is of no value, while you live, and will never be of any value, should your daughter Sarah not survive you.
Under such circumstances I would strongly advise you against the purchase of said mortgage, unless you ... buy it for a trifling amount.
If you were very rich and you could affort to pay all your daughter's debts, it wouild be well to pay this one as well, but you should certainly not embarass yourselves, because somebody has made a foolish mistake.
My wife and son are well in boston -- My best regards to your family.
