The following letter was recently re-
ceived by Hon. S. S. Brown of the
firm of Brown & Brown of WaterVllle.
who have been investigating the
claims Of the Mosher heirs. The letter
is the first information which has been
received by Mr.. Brown of definite
sort. 1t will be the foundation for a
search for the will referred to which
is understood to be in the probate
court at Salem. The letter is as fol-
lows:
MI S. S. Brown, Attorney -at-Law, p.
.. Box No. 2S4, Waterville, Kenne-
thee County, Maine, U. S. A.
Dear Sir-I wrote you on the 18th ult.
explaining the reason of delay. l have
now completed my search in the rec
ords of the court of chancery but am
urable to discover any unclaimed
money there in the name of Mosher.
Indeed l cannot find any entry in the
name of Mosher.
Under these circumstances 1 pur-
chased copies of advertisements con-
tanning names the most similar to that
of Mosher. These are as follows:
l. From the Daily News of Jan.
~, 1917, lOl ain LilHopCti
Moser, or her representatives
:. That is taken from return made
by the Bank of England in 1922 show
ing that there was at that period mon
ey standing unclaimed in the name of
Ann Elizabeth Moser of Carshalton.
Surry, from Oct. !.

Inquiry made by order of the high

Hardcastle Mosey had any, and, if
any, what, children.

siding abroad in 1888, or his represen-
tatives.

TO- The Times" of Goth October,
1852, an inquiry for the children of the

land, deceased about 16 years preyi-
ously.
II. The "Times'' of 10th July, 1871,
an inquiry for Robert Vickers Moyse
and Mary Ann. his wife, who resided
in London in 1853.
In your letter of the 9Th of January
last, you stated that the "Moshers" in
whom your clients are interested, be-
longed to Dartmouth, which is an old
seaport town in Devonshire.
l have made inquiries at that place,
but no trace of the name can be found
there for over century back.
In that same letter you mention
that you understood that other par
ties were at work on the "MoSher
Claim" but as far as l can discover
no one beside myself is engaged in it,
in this country at all events.
Have you got the date and place of
death of Hugh Mosher, the emigrant?
If so it will be we'll to find whether or
not he left "will."
IF he did. the probability is that he
therein made reference to any property
coming to him from this side.
If you succeed in getting any fur
Their particulars to send me, am quite
prepared to proceed further with my
Investigations.
Yours truly,
ROBERT GUN.
