From William Hodgson
Bellevue 6 Oct 1803
dear Sir
Our Journey to Westmorland, was productive of no good— on examining the chain of Title, we found it imperfect. The deed fm Ludwell Lee & Flora his Wife to Genl Lee, we could not find. The Sale was consequently suspended.
As soon as I can procure the lost deed I will advise you very respectfully
WH
As the Hollis's Marsh Tract could not be sold—the other property will not be sold until further notice agreeably to the arrangement made with Mr Chas Lee.
