DEAR SIR
agreable to my promis I now address you by Mr l\filbourn I have to inform you that .Mrs Page coincides with me in wishing to receive the two Labours No 1 and No 2 If they can both be conveyed in one deed it will be best if not let there be two if in one they can be conveyed in the name of Eliza Page widow of the late 'William A Page her mo,.iden name was Eliza Clarke. I have paid Capt Chase $10 for a bbl of flour on your account, and hope to be able to bring with me when I come to Town money to pay you if not the whole a.t least for the deeds nnd stamped paper but the prospect is not very bright, owing to Varners not being able
