Oct 22 1860

Gent

I delayed sending the enclosed until now for various reasons. The depot will no doubt be located this week, before I can hear from you. Still you had better send the deeds and paper along, as it can be changed unless we do what they consider right. I have suggested to sign agreement agreeing to give two or three agres [sic] for depot, and let anything more than that be open for future negotiation. They will undoubtedly ask more, or you may send two papers. I shall have to do as will as you and I desire to do no more than I can help. The weather is fine. Suppose one of you come out with the papers.

Respt
W.H. Seevers
