The Jennings Estate.

We find the following letter in the Mobile Reg

columns:
MoBILE, June 10, 1882.
EDIToRs REGIsTER- Gentlemen: Yesterday saw,
in the Tribune, statement purporting to come
from a "Cheserford Journal" that the Jennings
estate had been settied in England; some names
mentioned. This will prove to be false,
lisbcd in Virginia paper. II any such suit was
pending, my solicitors would have known il in
London, for they took pains to ascertain if any
cults were pending in any OF the courts. They are
gentlemen Of the highest responsibility, recon
mended to me by our Minister at London, Abbott
Lawrence, and by the Hon George Peabody, the
great American banker in London. They are also
his solicitors.
whose letter in the Washington Republic was
copied in the advertiser of yesterday. He calls me
s'outsider;" go | am, at least am outside the
slough Of despond. Mr. Clinton may be claimant,
or a would be agent for some families Of Jennings
or Jennens. He appears to be well posted in the
history of old Humphrey Jennens's descendants,
who died in England; but why does he still persist
in calling him Jennings, when il is JennenS?
William Jennings, the intcs;ate, died in 1898,
and his name was always spelled Jennings. Now,
Mr.. Clinton. (if any such man exists,) will in
form you that neither you nor any one else can
drive me off the track. You stay inside, i will
stay outside, as Ihave always done in this matter,
notwithstanding other families Of Jennings
and Jennens in this country and in Europe oppose
me, and have united as one family. have rela-
tons in Virginia and North Carolina who from
the same Charles of 1851. They all interested

undermined places, would advise you to call ON
p. Mayo, esq attorney at law in Norfolk; Charles
Bright, esq Williamsburg, and Charles X NAL
lory, attorney at law, Hampton, Virginia, and
they will satisfy you that the British officials have
