Whilst I was in the City Mr Key called upon me, & upon my informing him that it was our wish to sell the City property, he stated that he had no doubt that he could obtain at least $10,000 for it, which he would endeavour to do if we would write him to that effect. In that case, he would have the money paid into Court & then get an order for paying it over to us so as to render any bond from you unecessary. I am clearly of opinion that this will be our best plan, & if you concur in it, I will write Mr Key accordingly. I am Dear Sir Affectly yrs
