So far as the expenses incident
to this vast undertaking, it would
be humanity impossible for me. at
this time. to give you the details.
I had nothing to do with the pre-
paration of tax returns. That was
done by my sisters, with the aid
of competent tax counsel and re-
turns made thereon faithfully each
year. I made appropriate returns
on all monies received by me for
my distributive share as reflected
on the statements given to me by
my sisters. Internal Revenue has
examined all returns made on the
estate and so far as I know, every
thing has been paid which was
legally found to be due and owing
to the Government.
Some time in July Of 1947, I
decided to purchase a beach cot
Itage at Colonial Beach, Va, for
the use Of myself and my family
and with the further idea of pro-
Ividing a summer home for my
mother, who, after the death of
my father, was living in an apart
ment. Late in July or August, I
entered into an agreement to pur-
chase Lots 10 and II. Block IS.
Colonial Beach, Va. The deal was
concluded about the first week in
october. The price Of the cottage
was $7,700. The owner was Paul
Newland. The latter had an out
standing mortgage against the
cottage. paid $4,000 as down
payment. The proceeds came
primarily from the sale of the
Cadillac. I either signed a new
mortgage or continued the orr
Iginal first mortgage in the sum Of
$500. The holder Of the mort
gage is A. Roy Thomas. r. F. D. /,
Purcellville, Va. Payments are
made monthly at the rate Of $45
on principal and interest through
the Office Of Leroy Bendheim,
Esquire, Alexandria, Va.
While was negotiating for the
sale Of the cottage, we took my
mother down to the beach and
after discussion with her, decided
to make some renovations and in
stall some modern conveniences.
I entered into a contract with
Charles A. Knox Co. to do the
renovations on a straight cost plus
basis. The renovations were COM
menced about October or Novem-
Der of 1947 and finished by Feb
ruary Of l948. My mother Il
named the cottage Susie-Q after
herr gave me approximately ST.

balance out of my own funds. in

uary 8. 1948. to the order OF
Charles A. Knox in the sum Of
