Dear Sir
I have been favoured with your / Letter of the 19th of August, and am sorry to find / so Little of the Land mortgaged was [?Steenrods] / Property, nevertheless, small as it is it must be / very Valuable to him [^ Delevan] if Delavan will / Pay the Principal viz. 160 £ and the carges / that he’s incurred. I will sign over the Bond / and Mortgage, but the money must be / forthcoming. I do not wish to have any / thing further to do with Bond & mortgages / I do suppose you will agree with me in / thinking this Proposal moderate.
I shall be Glad to know when you will / be in Town, in the mean time write me/ Mr Delavan answer I am Dear Sir
Your’s most sincerely
Geo: Turnbull
