In reply to yours Of -, touching a supposed estate
or property of large amount In England belonging to
the -- family, have to say that 80 many similar
letters are received at this legation that compe-
ed to answer them by printed circular.
The pretended prosecution OF these pretended AM
ercan claims to English property is carried with
such persistence and ingenuity by the engaged
in 1t that despair Of being able to make their cTedu-
ous victims understand what an utter imposture and
delusiOn the whole business is.
cannot too strongly advise you since you have adj
dressed me on the subject to have nothing to do with
such claims, and especially to remit money their
agents. But II dsincned las you probably will bel
to accept this advice eau only say It is all the SER
vice in my power to render you in the matter or
which, If rendered, would do you any good.
would add further, that under the instructions Of
the State Department Of the United States the lega-
ton would not be allowed to take part In the invest-
CATION OF such claims, even they supposed to be
well founded in point of fact except in pursuance of
specific authority from that department. 1 am your
obedient servant, Ell. PHELPS
United gtatee Minister.

Since the preparation of the foregoing circular Your
letter of - has been received nquiring as to an act
Of parliament passed in August last said to refer to
the so-called "Lawrence-Townley estate" which is
represented to consist of eight hundred millions of
dollars In the Bank Of England awaiting distribution
among unknown heirs.
Many other letters of similar nature have also bee
received from persons in various parts of the United
States.

belonging to the Lawrence Townloy" or the 'Town-
ley estate, or to any claimants under either.
3 That there is no such estate in England az the
Lawrence-Townley' estate, nor any known family Of
that designation.
In his letter to the state department, Min
lister Phelps characterizes the work of the
claim agents as an outrageous fraud, designed
to get money from the credulous Henry

poses of the illusion that large sums of money
in England are awaiting unknown heirs Even

The above advertisement clipped from this
mornings Boston Journal tells for itself what
sort of New Years present Mr.. Brooks re-
ceiyes from the firm which be has served
faithfully for 20 years past. The concern is
one OF the largest Of Boston's wholesale gro
Gerry houses, and holds first rank in point of
reputation and reliability. Its tea trade is
the largest done by any Boston house,
and this trade Mr.. Brooks has done very
much to build up. He will still remain ION
the road" to look after his trade, but will
spend more time at the house in Boston than
heretofore. His residence will still remain in
Braiteboro. We join the large army Of Mr..
Brookss friends, not in Brattleboro alone, but
all along his beat in Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts, in extending him
hearty congratulations.
