Dear Vicky:
r_~~
-~-~- U l ~ t~`
I am enclosing an addendum to the Objections which were filed by me in late
November 2003 for the Estate of Mildred J Gerber and the Trust of Mildred J Gerber.
As the original objections were filed with the two numbers, Mr. William Duncan at
a hearing on February 11,2004 asked that the file numbers be separated by the
objections which pertain to the Estate and to the Trust of Mildred J Gerber. This
was essentially done within the objections but the front document lists two file
numbers and he wants them separated. I have made no corrections or additions
to the original objections only separated the pages and applied the correct file
number to a new front page.
I would suggest that this be kept with the original objections filed.
I am also enclosing a check for supoenas for the purpose of production of
documents which I wish to serve. Mr. Duncan has set a discovery schedule and I
need to serve several individuals. I remember the cost being $5.00 a page. I
require five please. I have enclosed a stamped, self addressed envelope for you
to send to me.
If there are any charges for this new separation of the objections, please enclose
a note and I send you a check.
Happy Spring!
Sincerely, ~~
