C.\nRe: Estate of Yssabella G. Waters\nGentlemen:\nAs executor of the Will of Yssabella G. Waters late of\nGroton, Mass., we have found among her effects a sealed envelope\napparently containing a pin. We have not opened the envelope. On\nthe outside of the envelope Miss Waters had written as follows:\n\"In case of my death this pin must be returned\nto the Nursing Division, National Red Cross,\nWashington, D. c.\"\nIt appears from this that Miss Waters did not have complete\ntitle to the pin and that it does not now belong to her estate, but\nbelongs instead to the Association mentioned above. The residuary\nlegatee under her Will has waived all claim to this pin. We assume\nthat you know what the pin is. Please let me know how much insurance\nshould be placed on the pin when we send it to you and give us any\nfurther instructions which we should have on this matter.\nVery truly yours,\nP. H. Bunker\nTrust Officer\nPHB CD\nw"
