So goodness only knows when he may get the letter, which "asks him to come home at once, but only gives to him such information about the Will as has already been given to every member of the testator's family." And that is nil.

I dare say we shall be kept waiting for months before we get hold of the estate which is ours.

It is too bad! _Letter from Edward Bingham Trent to Ernest Roger Halbard Melton_.
176, LINCOLN'S INN FIELDS, _December_ 28, 1906.
DEAR SIR, I am glad to be able to inform you that I have just heard by letter from Mr.Rupert St.Leger that he intended leaving Rio de Janeiro by the S.S._Amazon_, of the Royal Mail Company, on December 15.

He further stated that he would cable just before leaving Rio de Janeiro, to say on what day the ship was expected to arrive in London.

As all the others possibly interested in the Will of the late Roger Melton, and whose names are given to me in his instructions regarding the reading of the Will, have been advised, and have expressed their intention of being present at that event on being apprised of the time and place, I now beg to inform you that by cable message received the date scheduled for arrival at the Port of London was January 1 prox.
