Talladega, 16th September 1867

General:
The property held by the Trustees of the "Baptist Male High School" is advertised to be sold by the Sheriff on the first Monday in October next.  This course, as you are aware has been adopted to render the title unquestionable.  I hope you will have an agent present on that day to direct how the deed shall be executed.  The trustees would prefer to have an interview with the agent before the sale day, or early in the morning of that day.  Be assured, General, of our purpose to faithfully carry out the arrangement made with you.

Very respectfully
Your obt serv't
Luis W Lawler
