As Mr R. B. Lee has informed me he cannot carry into effect the Proposition he was to make for acct of Genl Lee & as I see no prospect whatever of getting pa<y>ment but thro' a Sale of the Estate, I will thank you as soon as convenient to transmit the Advertizement. I would prefer your leaving the Day of Sale Blan<k> & I will fill it up‑Very Respectfully
