"Newton Falls July 14th
Dear Son
I have a chance
to sell my old place for one
thousand Dollars & _____ seven
Hundred Dollars of the amount
Due along in three or four years
on an article to be assigned But
the plan for which the article is
given has been mortgaged by the
same man who gave the article
and although parties are all
considered responsible it seems to
me there might a difficulty arise
in getting payment without
being able to _____ a Deed. I
should like to talk with you
about it when you come up.
I send you five dollars
received of _____ Brown. says he
will pay the rest as soon as he
can. _____ says he will pay soon.
We are in comfortable health.
Julia is very much engaged with
her studies. Received from Fannie
two or three days ago a letter. _____
health still quite poorly otherwise
all well. Love to all I remain
as ever yours. H Stevens"
