Now this administrator shows to the Court that there is no estimate made in this report of the costs incident to filing this final report or of an attorney’s fee which should be allowed this administrator as compensation for legal services and when said costs & attorney’s fees are ascertained to the same must be deducted from said $1636.95.

This administrator would further show to the Court that one JAS. F. WRIGHT is the legally qualified and acting administrator of the estate of C. O. AFFLICK deceased in the State of Missouri and in the County of Monroe in said State of Missouri. That your administrator and accountant is informed that said estate is in debt in said State of Missouri and that the money now in the hands of this administrator is needed in said State of Missouri. Wherefore he prays on a final hearing hereof he be authorized to pay over to said JAS. F. WRIGHT administrator of said estate in the State of Missouri the moneys in his hands belonging to his said decedent’s estate and that this his final report and account be approved by the Court and that he be discharged from the further administration of said estate and that he and his securities on his administrator’s bond be released from further liability on said bond and that the succession in said estate be declared closed.
