J.P's father's protection of the Seale family much undervalued. JS's unjust contempt of JP's character and usage of Mrs.J.P. who had sole management of her estate.

Her husband informed S.P. that J.S. had refused to pay arrears of her legacy and had the profit of it since Mr. Seale died. Unjust criticism of her very good husband's treatment of her. J.S. evidently unaware of his reponsibility to S.P.'s sister.
