               (g) On the controlling valuation date the fair market value            
               of the real property identified at Item 7 of Schedule A was

          Accordingly, the taxable estate is increased $5,740.00.                     
               (h) When the decedent died she was the sole heir of her                
               predeceased spouse, James R. Rickman, who died on October              
               19, 1990.  On August 8, 1990, James R. Rickman transferred             
               $20,000.00 to Janet and James O. Tipton by a check which               
               indicated that such funds were a loan on a home.  It is                
               determined that this note was part of the estate of James R.           
               Rickman which passed to the decedent and that the such loan            
               is included in her gross estate.                                       
          Accordingly, the taxable estate is increased $20,000.00.                    
               (i) When the decedent died she was the sole heir of her                
               predeceased spouse, James R. Rickman, who died on October              
               19, 1990.  On August 17, 1990, James R. Rickman directed the           
               First Union National Bank of North Carolina to transfer two            
               U.S. Treasury Notes totalling $300,000 to Kaye Rickman,                
               Janet Tipton and James Tipton.  James R. Rickman died before           
               the bank transferred the Treasury Notes to the designated              
               donees.  Therefore, the Treasury Notes were part of the                
               estate of James R. Rickman which passed to the decedent and            
               the value of the Treasury Notes are included in her gross              
               estate.                                                                
          Accordingly, the taxable estate is increased                                
          $300,000.00.                                                                
          The parties agree that exhibits A and B referred to in paragraph            
          (a) of the explanation of adjustments were not attached to the              
          notice of deficiency that was sent to petitioner.  Respondent
