01252 letterhead 2 J.M. I have placed up-on you so it is nothing for you to fear and if you were to keep the house it
would pay its way well for as it is 5000. at 8 is 400. for illegible and 2000. at 10 is 200. for illegible making 600. a year
interest which the house rents for 75. per month or 900. a year the difference, or 300. will more than pay taxes and insurances.
Of course if you can spare the 2000. it is decidedly the best way to pay off the 10 paper. The 3 acres came in this way Paul
Gardor owned a 6 acre tract of land, I said to him I will pay your prior for 3 acres 6000. if you will give me a contract
on the other 3 acres at the same price to run until October 1886 if I sell it stricken word before that ime I will give you
(Paul Gardor) our half of what I got over 2000. per acre for the 3 acres which the contract is Jan. This is the whole scheme
of the 3 acres as clearly as I can give it in this manner, when your desparate another lower over and I will show you all
about it. Love to all. Truly Walter Brown
