BR asks what happened to the cottage John gave to Dora. "I remember that you looked into the matter of the cottage and that there were many comings and goings about it, but I cannot remember the details or the outcome. I should be grateful if you could send me a more or less detailed account of what occurred in the matter so that I can answer Anne."

The letter is unsigned. It is presumed to be from BR. There is also reference to a cottage that John gave to Susan; this may be the same cottage. See record 116737.
