Polish term or phrase: zlikwidować swoje sprawy
Tłumaczę list - i za Chiny Ludowe nie mogę wpaść, jak to zgrabnie ująć...
Kontekst jest taki:
Gdy w 1939 r. Stefan został powołany do wojska, jego ojciec zlikwidował swoje sprawy w U. i wraz z rodziną i dobytkiem przeniósł się do pracy w majątku N. koło J. a po skończonej wojnie dostał gospodarstwo z tego majątku.

Będę wdzięczna za pomoc :)
