Dear Sir:

This delay has been unavoidable. I found that Mr Blattenberg's lot was unsuitable. I then sought other lots. Three days ago I found a lot on Green Street 90 x 240 which I was told could be had low. The owner lives at Cohaba. I went there forthwith, agreed to give him $700. To day the owner came to meet me on the subject. The deed is to be signed by a man living at Mobile. We have drawn up a deed and it is to be sent to Mobile immediately and the arrangement is to be consummated as soon as possible.

The lot in question lies between Little Issac and Selma Street on Green Street and is just the place. If therefore no unforseen cause intervene we shall be ready for you by the latter part of next week
