Hi all,

Here am I in living near Leeds, in England, and going to the Test Match
between England and Pakistan tomorrow at Headingley-that's a cricket
match, a 5-day game!

I am asking if anyone would be willing to go to the Surrogate Court in
Brooklyn, and obtain a will for me.

The details are: Charles DOUGHTY born 29th November, 1821, Broughton,
Lincolnshire, England. Death date 22nd December 1889, at 125, Van
Sicklen Avenue, New Lots, Kings County.

Probate granted on 15th April, 1890 to Henry M. Smith (son-in-law),

Details below of Notice of Surrogate Hearing:
Publication:Brooklyn Eagle; Date:Mar 7, 1890; Section:None; Page Number:2

I know that there is a heat wave in New York at the moment, so would not
expect a great deal just yet. We too have had some heat, but know that
heat in the city can be oppressive.

Thanks
