Dear sister
You seem to be slow in answering + I am anxious to know whether you wish to help in the sale of that property if we dont hold ourselves in readiness to bid on it Tom French will bid it in + he can never pay for it + the thing will drag a long till we will never realise anything from there + Lute is so afraid that he wont do any thing Just one week from to day it is to be sold let me know if you are going to send any money I think the best way to send it is to send it to Auburn by Express + let me know rite off if you are going to send any
