Barlow May D. Davis (all dead) This was sent by Arthur L. Davis, 42 Main St, Ware, Mass The will was destroyed, She had no longer any property to leave, but it shows her good intentions.Kitty Barry Blackwell wrote, Oct. 12, 1926, of the will that she had drawn by Judge H. C. Davis of Ware, Mass. : "That will signifies just what Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell would have wished me to do with the property she left me, property acquired through years of strenuous service in her profession.She was always generous and helpful, notably so in the early days of your father and grandfather, Mr. (George W.) Blackwell, who had no financial backing when he came to New York. It was she who, when he found the profession of law slow in returns, lent him from her earnings means to start him in his investment in the East Orange property. She knew her brother was honorable & always to be trusted."

Gibbon Pritchard Reginald F. Parker William S. Sharpe 18th October 1917 Dear Miss Barry, The government have assessed the Increment Value Duty payable on the sale of 'Rock House' at £12. They say however, "that the case appears to be one which may be effected by legislative proposals, consideration of which by Parliament has been suspended, owing to the war." Under these circumstances they would not mind postponing the payment pending the final outcome of the proposed legislation. I do not think there is much probability of Parliament letting you off the payment and it seems to me that it is very desirable if possible to clear the matter up. Would you therefore prefer to send me a cheque for £12 that I may pay the duty or would you prefer that the £50 War Stock should be sold. If you prefer paying the amount and keeping the War Stock, on receipt of your cheque I will discharge Miss K. Barry (2). it and will send you the War Stock Certificate that you may deal with it in any way you think right. It can be sold by you through the Post Office. I am, Yours faithfully, W. Arthur Sharpe P.S of course if you prefer not to pay but to wait you can do so Miss K. Barry, Hotel, Kilmun, Argyleshire.Head Office: 186 Strand, London Oct 11 1917 Miss K. Barry Bought of W. H.
