Marshall,

I was at the Hunterdon County Surrogate's Office last Thursday,
February 14th, to retrieve documents. The price was $5.00 per page.
An elderly couple arrived behind me to request a copy of a will which
cost them a total of $140.00!

If there is a less expensive way of getting these documents, please
let us know.

Thanks,

Beverly G. Kirby-McDonough
