R. M. Manly, Esq.

Sir,

I enclose your draught for a deed for the lot on which the house is to be built. The deed that was sent last summer & on record [[as ?? ]] was not properly acknowledged by Mrs. M having been informed by only one J.P. I anticipate an objection being raised as to the deed by your relatives to the intended use of the church charities been raised I understand $400 from all sources to be used toward building a ME Church there for the colored people as it being the wish of the trusties. I deliver the deed as you see it. I hope you will erase any objection & let them have their house as soon as possible I will have the deed executed & recorded as soon
