letterhead Apl 27 1996 John Muir Esq Martinez Cal. Dear Brother I got the deed to the three acres to-day and filed it
for record but owing to the work ahead of it we cannot get it for three weeks; but it is all right as it is in effect from
the date of filing. I will send it as soon as I can get it. I have offerred if ro 2,000. for acre but now I think that I shall
put the price up. David has sent over 1000. to invest for him. We are all well and J. Dott go riding once or twice each
day. Regards to you all. Very Truly Walter Brown 01229
