McLaughlin, Trustee vs. Francis Kickham, et al, Dear Mr. Amos: This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter and enclosures on August 26, 2003. I did not retum your telephone call last week because the message did not request a return call, but rather indicated that you would be sending me material to look at, which you have now done. Accordingly, I am responding to that. Tam interested in your statement that Francis Kickham “is not entitled to support while he has a great deal of assets of his own.” What information do you have as to assets of Francis Kickham outside of the Trust, including amounts and locations? The nature and extent of those assets might be an issue, as would the Trustee’s knowledge or lack of knowledge about that information, Sincerely yours, A 4 me Brian D.
