John M. Lott

Lotts, SC  Feb 3, 1859
W.F. Durisoe Esq O.E.D.
Dear Sir,
I saw in the last Edgefield Advertiser that Mr. W.W. Asbil l has applied for 
letters of Administration on the estate o f Marshall Lott, deceased. I have 
nothing against Mr. Asbil l, but as _____ is a near relation of mine and 
believing i n the duty of the relatives of the deceased to act for th e minor 
child, I object to Mr. Asbill's Administrating on m y brother's estate, and if 
there was to be a second Adminis trations I now apply for the Administration 
and you can hav e it announced in the Advertiser.  I don't know whether I a m 
competent or not but under present circumstances, I shal l try as this estate 
is quiet small and the children ______ _ be they can get and I can act for them 
as cheap as any pe rson.  I don't expect Mr. Asbill will have any objection t o 
it as he has lost nothing.  I shall be up Monday or Tuesd ay next and we can 
arrange matters.
Yours very respectfully,
John Lott
