Croom, Jr., District Manager the Mutual Life Ins. Co. of N. Y., Wilmington, N. C: Dear Sir I hereby acknowledge receipt of the Mu- tual Life Insurance Company's check for $2,271.25, m settlement of policy No. 1510970 for $2,000 carried on ms "own life in the Mutual Life by my husband, the late Richard E. Warwick. The policy was for $2,000 and had been in force a little more than fourteen years. The additions to the policy on account of premiums paid amounted to $750.00. There was a loan of $506.00 standing against the policy at the time of Mr. Warwick's death, so that the amount paid by the Company represented the face of the po ic, $2,000, additions $750.00, refund of interest on .oan $21.25, less the loan of $500.00. If there had been no loan standing against the policy the actual amount paid by the Company in settlement t)f this $2,000 policy would have been $2,750, or the lace of the-policy plus more than 43 per cent, of all premium paid. , think the settlement a splendid one, and I thank you for your promptness in the matter. Yours very truly, - " ' (MRS.) JULIA W. WARWICK, Administratrix of Richard E. Warwick. i K 1 X
