The petition of Carmen Asedo widow of Fernando Asedo(sic) deceased respectfully shows:
That letters of administration were issued your petitioner on March 19th, 1881— and that on the same day she returned to this Court a true inventory and appraisement of said estate:
That your petitioner, together with Nicholas, Maria and Francisco Asedo (sic) the three minor children of deceased are without instate of their own and dependent upon the Estate of deceased for support aria maintenance.
That no personal estate whatever has come to tne hands of your petitioner as such administratrix with which to pay expenses of administration, the debts of deceased or one allowance heretofore made to your petitioner for the support and maintenance of herself and said Minor children
That up to this sate no debts have been presented against said deceased and to the best knowledge information and belief of your petitioner there are none outstanding against him
That the Expenses and Charges of the administration already accrued amount to about one hundred Dollars and there will probably accrue during one administration tne further sum of about One hundred Dollars—
That the sum of Five hundred Dollars is due your petitioner on family allowance as will be due at the end of the first years administration:
That the instate of deceased consists solely of real estate for the full description of which reference is hereby made to the inventory on file
That the whole of said estate having been acquired by deceased during his marriage with petitioner is Community property--
That in order to pay the expenses of administration as aforesaid and the allowance to petitioner it is necessary that some portion of said real estate should be sold—
 
 
That Lot No 2, Block 177 in the City of Tucson is the most available portion of said property for the purpose of ready sale and at good price--and from its nature or character which reference to its future disposition among one heirs a sale thereof is desirable
Wherefore your petitioner prays the Order of this Court that said Lot No 2 Block 177 in Tucson aforesaid may be sold at private sale, as such method of sale would in your petitioners opinion not only be a saving of expenses but would command better prices - and if the proceeds of such sale prove insufficient to meet one aforesaid Expenditures tnen that a sufficient portion of the remaining real estate may be sold
to cover same -- And your petitioner will ever pray &.c
her Carmen A  Asedo (sic)
