Summary
Family news. All building has stopped due to workers' demands for higher wages. By Uncle Peter Jay's will a legacy of 500 pounds was left to Peter Jay Munro, and by a codicil a share of the remainder of his moneys, etc. was left to him also. Munro now refuses to receive this last portion as he is uncertain that he should have both.
