Re:First and Partial Account of Equibank,N.A.-Estate
of Lawrence W.Denniston,Deceased,No.69-254
Gentlemen:
At the audit in the above captioned account held on Tuesday,
December 13,1977,Judge Simmons granted a continuance to January 10,1978.
The purpose of this continuance was to permit liquidation of units of the
Equibank Co~~on Trust Fund A in order to generate cash for distribution.
~lr.Randal of Equibank has informed me that the liquidation will not
be consummated in sufficient time to permit this transaction to be shown on
any documents prepared before January 14th.Judge Simmons indicated that if
we were unable to meet the January lath deadline we could informally request
that the audit be continued until the next available date.Consequently,we
request that the above case be stricken from the January lath audit list and
be scheduled for audit at the earliest possible time.
Please notify me of the new audit date and feel free to contact me if
there is any problem with arranging the rescheduling of this matter.
