Dear Ellen you spoke something in your last letter about a person named Blair Yes we know the man I think. It seems he made public sale & sold lots of his property to make payment on an eighty acres that he bought last fall. The land is just East of old Dr Lovejoys. Known Andy Laddle place. There was a mortgage on the land that eat itself out of the former owners hands. Blair is said to have paid sixteen hundred dollars for the place. Heads, Banks, at Jefferson had the lien on the property. This man Blair is Saul Johnson's son in law. Before he bought land he lived across the river west of here some 4 or 5 miles SE. I hope this letter with find all well. Must manage to have an introduction to that dear baby daughter of yours
