The Topeka state journal., 1906-01-25

of the viii relating to it read as fol-
lows:
My executors and residuary trustees
are directed to recognize and promote
the performance of any contract that
may exist at my decease and may have
been made by me, for the continuance
in the business of Marshall Field &
Co. incorporated or any part of my
resources therein
Because of the failure to file petit
ton for the appointment of admins
traitors, the value of the estate was not
furnished to the court and even the
executors themselves are not able to at
this time estimate it with accuracy. The
failure to file the petition with the viii
is because of the great extent of the
property held by Mr.. Field and because
much time viii be required for its ap-
praisement- 1t probably viii be several
weeks before the probate court is Off
cially informed of its value.
Carefully Drawn.

written pages and includes, with two
codieils, more than $4,000 words 1t is
