Mr. A. Sundberg,
Avon, Ill.
Dear Sir; Enclosed find a statement of costs in the matter of the estate of Julia A. Compton, decd. amounting to $48.45.
I do not now recall whether Mr Creel said you had paid appraisers or that you would but there appears to be yet the sum of three dollars so I suppose something was said about it at the time.
I enclose receipt for the amount of your check.
I might also add, for fear Mr. Creel has not mentioned it to you, that when you file your final report that you will have to have a notice of final settlement published which will cost one dollar, so you may add this to your expenditures.
Wishing you au Prosperous and Happy New Year, I am,
Yours Very Truly,

Austin Onion
