August 10th 1855
My Dear Sister,
The object of this note is to state that I was prevented from going on the Hall place. But I learned that she there are 637 1/2 acres to be sold on the 20th of this month. This land is composed of the Hall place, the School Croft place & the Thorpe place, none of which I wish to purchase. It is estimated that it will go at from three to five thousand dollars & is by all regarded as valuable property.
As my eyes continue weak you must excuse this brief letter. Wirt sends his love & thanks for the articles of

Your affectionate brother,
