Estate of Theodore R. Thompson, Deceased, Betsy T. Turner, Executrix - Page 16




                                       - 16 -                                         
          reported adjusted taxable gifts of $9,324 for gifts of the Turner           
          Partnership interests and $10,000 for gifts of the Thompson                 
          Partnership interests.                                                      
               The partnerships distributed funds to decedent to pay for his          
          personal expenses.  In a January 19, 1995, handwritten letter to            
          Robert, Betsy wrote:                                                        
                    Here is a list of Dad’s 1994 expenses (The Keely                  
               Mgt. fee will not be repeated.)  The miscellaneous will                
               not be quite as high as he no longer buys lumber.  But as              
               you can see he will need an infusion.                                  
                    He still has, in his Alex Brown Acct. as of today                 
               $31,806, $5,000 of this in cash.                                       
                    C.G. Cheleden suggested we transfer securities into               
               his personal Alex Brown Acct # 05312, rather than each                 
               partnership selling something & transferring cash.  I                  
               just looked at our partnership statement.  We could                    
               transfer a Penna. Higher Ed. Facility (50,000 shares                   
               worth $50,864, � of it worth $25,432) & Dad could sell                 
               these off as he needed them.  Do you think $25,000 from                
               each of us [is] the right amount?                                      
                    Let me know what you think.  He’s okay for now, as                
               there is enough cash in the account for February.                      
          Attached to the letter was a schedule of decedent’s expenses in             
          1994 totaling $57,202.40.  This amount included Delaware State tax          
          of $7,347, Federal income tax of $23,623, and Cokesbury assisted            
          living center expenses of $20,072.20.  The $57,202.40 total did not         
          include $3,000 which Betsy identified as a “Keely Mgt. (fee for             
          discounting partnerships)”.                                                 
               The Thompson Partnership distributed $12,500 to decedent in            
          March 1995.
