Almina is attempting to find out what real estate holdings her late husband has in New Orleans and Smith informs her in small part: ".I found myself in a rather awkward predicament. The Judge informed me the agent he had made the appointment Mr. Parker had admitted in Court that he had been in the State Prison for passing counterfeit money and informed me he could not now be removed without showing his present incapacity to manage her property. This information could only be obtained by depositions from the place where he resides.The last agent has not obtained any of the funds & I have much confidence in believing that his bail will not permit him to remove the funds and certainly not without securing him.
