his decision a very fair one, (a copy of which please find enclosed.) I saw the Sheriff, and he agreed to suspend all action under the execution, untill after March 1st, 1867. I consulted Judge Underwood about it at the time, and he informed me that it was extremely doubtful, if Harriet could make a case that would warrant his setting aside the decision of the tax Commissioner. I then advised Harriet to leave the house without any further trouble, and wait patiently the decision of the Court.
     She has been very persistent in this matter, against the advice of every one, even her own Attorney, Mr. Tucker.
     I saw the Sheriff to day, and notified him to suspend all further action in the case, untill the decision of the decision of the U.S. Court.
     The foregoing statement I believe, embraces every material fact in the history of the case. The property in question is worth from $1500 00/100 to $2000 00/100. $100 00/100 per annum would have been a fair rent for it during the last six years. Harriet has had it in possession for that period, without payment of any rent whatever. She has paid however about $100 00/100 in taxes, and about $100 00/100 in repairs to the property.
I, Am, General,
Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servt.
