| Transcript | Pittsburgh, Nov. 17th, 1821 Dear Ellen, I am nonplussed to know what is best to do, whether to address H. at St. L. [St. Louis?], or Springfield. Mr. Drake omitted to sign the Transfer & by advice of Mr. Woods (Lawyer) I returned the Bond for signature inclosed in a letter addressed to H. at Springfield. I hope this is right but, as Mr. Woods Was engaged in Court I could not obtain an audience with him till after my writing, & late on Saturday, he told me to write again & say, that, the Bond is not saleable unless signed by both you & Horace. this being done, the conditions will all be complied with. We can get no person to cash the Bond as favorably as Mr Saml. [Samuel?] McClean Jr. ([-?] per cent). Mr Mc. will pay the amt [amount?] in good funds of Pittsburgh, or Pa. [Pennsylvania?] Banks, but will not give a check on -- N.Y. [New York?] City, - Kramer says he will give the check at of 1 per cent. Query, shall I accept this. We await the return of the Bond, with instruction, as well. Afftely [affectionately?] John Kelly. |
