Martha Custis page 2 by ric gustafson
" Your husband had no will". He stared at Martha. " He died intestate".
Martha thought about Daniel.
James Power looked at Martha. " Mrs Custis?".
" So there is no will". She looked at her friend. " Where does that leave us?".
" Your husband's estate will be equally divided between you Jacky and Patsy".
" And how is that done?".
" An inventory will have to be taken of everything".
" I will have to consult with my brother Bartholomew". She smiled. " He is an attorney".
" Of course".
One day, Martha was invited to an afternoon social at the home of some friends. Their names were Richard and Mary Chamberlaynes. Later on, a new guest arrived.
