Dear Sir.
Rep&-ying to your letter of a little time ago, Ah very
sorry the Dr. is not in the market for the plaae for I.want to
sell but he cant play the waiting game and get anything more of ,,
a bargain than I have offered him.
I agree with you that the place is worth a good deal
more than we can get out of it at thins time and with that in mind
am anxious to make some arrangement to have the place looked after
down there and if you are not too busy and could give it a little of
your time would be glad to know upon what terms you would
undertake to keep an eye on the same until it can be turned to
some advantage .
Of course by this I mean to take charge of any and all repairs ate.
that we may decide to make as well as the disposition of the
property shouldd a chance present itself.
I.am very much in hopes you may induce your client to invest
in this property
7Trusting to hear from you at an early date, I.beg to remairt.
VERY, TRULY YOURS. .

Dear sir.
Your letter of the 30th, ult. received and it is with much
encouragement Inote you have been able to get at least an offer
from the doctor, while the same is not satisfactory perhaps he
can be induced to do eben better.
In connection with his offer would like to ascertain,
if he will guarantee the value of the BUILDING AND LOAN stock
to be $523
If this is not troubling you too much would be very glad
to receive this information at your convenience.
Ah idea has occurred to me that pnrhaps it would nst
be a bad scheme to try and start a tobacco grove on the place and
in thitevent do you know ofi anyone in the place who would like
to go in with me on some fair basis.
Did we not have a glorious victory to celebrate yesterday?
VERY TRULY YOORS.

Detr Sir.
Referring to your letter of the 18th, I.am rather inclined
to consider Dr. Gwinns offer, ie. $500.00 in cash and the Iron
Belt stock amounting to $523.00 which stock I understand he guarantee
and will make good in case of failure of this association to
pay this amount within twelve months from the time ,t wasiglaced
for withdrawal, this later clause wbuld have to be embodied in the
deed or in some form which would make me perfectly secure.
I realize this is putting a very small value upon
the property and especially as the results of this present war are
likely to make some advancements for the state.
By this letter Iam and intend the same as an acceptance of the
Doctors offer with the arrangement in relation to the stock.
If he agrees will you kindly adjust the matters
for me and advise me at an early date the result or effect this
letter has and very much oblige. ,

DEAR SIR.
To your letter of AUG.l1ih, I.was obliged to hold the
same owing to the absence of MRS FOLSOM who has just returned
from an outing. You will note that I have made two changes in
the agreement which th e Dr. proposes to give on the stock, namely ,
that the 8523.00 shall draw interest after twelve months from date
of contract until paid, which makes the .-ame satisfactory to us
and we will accept the same and turn the property over to the DR.
providing he agrees and will give us a mortgage back on the property
pending the payment of the stock.
I have h3d the Satisfaction executed and also the deed which
would ask that you hold in ebevance until the mortqaze abover
referred to with the $500.00 in cash.and the stock is turned over to
to you
If this propositi-on does not meet with his approval kindly return all
papers to me at an early date.
I am anxious to get this matter closed up at once and trust vou will
iTMgges upon the DR. that this offer does not hold for in': length of
SHoping for an early reply IJam.
