Thanks for this, I thought it would be a considerable amount otherwise his sister, who was, by then a widow, would not have been able to have afforded to come back to the UK for two months along with her son and possibly her nephew. I know she also owned a house in Poughkeepsie so I am now wondering whether she bought that from her share of the legacy too.
