RE: Estate qf Joseph Colossa
George J. Modrak, Esq.
22 N. Central Avenu~
Canonsburg, Pa. 15317
Dear Mr. Modrak:
This will confirm my telephone conversation with you
of today, at which time I informed you that my Polish
correspondent advises that he has located a first cousin
once removed of the decedent, whom he believes is the only heir.
Of course, I have not seen the proofs of relationship,
so I cannot confirm that I am satisfied as ~o the claim of
relationship. As soon as we receive the proofs, we will
contact you, but please keep in mind that it will take a
little time. I understand that Richard DiSalle, Esq. will represent the heir claimant.
I am Thanking you for )rour kind pa ti en ce and cooperation,
HUD/e
