Dear sir I cannot
get a deed now of the land with which I
propose to secure for you the $5000. I think
I can in the course of the summer & perhaps
very soon. I will assign to you the Article
or I will give you a mortgage of our in-
dividual half of the place which I live but
on this property there is a mortgage for three
thousand dollars of the purchase. Money
(ie) an the whole property $8000. to be
paid yearly in $1000 payments. This property
My Brother owns in [?] with me.
If you prefer I will Mortgage you this until
such time as I can make you a mortgage
for the Barn lots as proposal. (ie) if you
do not feel safe with the assignment of
the Article please answer by return
mail as I would like to get the money the
first of April if possible. & would
like to go there & do the business so as
to return on Saturday next which is
the first of April I believe- please
say how long it will be necessary for
me to stop in Warren to do the business
