I also enclose a statement of your amount the two statements, I presume do not require any further explanations
I expect to complete an arrangement this week for the payt of amount due from James by Mr Jacob Taylor, one half June 1861, balance June 1862, this is better than I have expected until quite recently
Mr Taylor bought of Geo Comfort the Mill, and land on the east

side. With kind regards to Mr Hotchki I remain
Very truly yours
U. Burrows
P.S. As the title to the land was in the executors probably it will not
be necessary to have anything from you besides the rect
that I took at the time of the payment of the money --
On looking to the receipt
I conclude to send a duplicate for you and Mr Hotchkiss to sign, and return to me, seting forth the fact that I was understood that I was the purchaser of
the land --
U.B.
