[illegible] is our [illegible] up to this day $1037.41 & have prepared to have the the business thus transacted. I have drawn & delivered to Mr Burtch a bond & mortgage which I propose he shall execute thus; & on this being sent to me with your draft for the above sum I will then deliver the deed to your agent & assign the bond & mortgage on receiving the draft. Have no doubt this arrangement will be satisfactory to you.
