From William Hodgson
Alexa. Octr 10. 1805
Dear Sir:
I am extremely troublesome to you regarding the Deed of Trust from Genl Lee— Your last Advertizement was not inserted in the papers owing to some Overture of Genl Lee's which I hoped would have rendered the Business unnecessary— It is in vain for me I believe to expect Relief except thro' a Sale of the property &ca. I must request you will be so good as to authorize me to insert the annex'd Advertisement— The sooner you can send it to me the better— I am Very Respy
W.H.
Four Weeks Notice is required by the Trust deed— When the Event of this Sale is known the other Lands can be advertized.
W.H.
