Against the evaluations, those present had nothing to object. C. Leth of Halkjær declared, that he would do the necessary supervision of the management of the deceased's estate, and for that reason he will have to give an account for the estatecourt. C. and N. Leth with take to safekeeping those in the deceased's estate found cash money together with the deceased's binding contract in the Mill. A renunciation issued by the Son J. N. Bevensen together with some of the deceased kept account-books were taken in safekeeping by the estatecourt. C. Leth declared to owe the deceased 235 Rigsbankdalers and N. Leth to have a debt to deceased's estate of 15 Rigsbankdalers. Farm-bailiff [Theodore] Esmarch was present and declared upon the owner of Aakjær, Estate owner [Joseph] Cohen's behalf, that the mill, which belongs to Aakjær, and so was held by the deceased, will not have be to handed over until later, and it was expressed towards all present, that the estatecourt is to be informed, when this delivery will take place, the present declared, that they as soon as possible wished the property of the deceased's estate legally settled [?].
