Dear Bob
I am in receipt of your letter, and feel
disappointed at not getting the Deed back before
this, go to Joe and see when he and his wife will
sign the Deed, or better let Joe and you ride up
with the Commissioner of Deeds for Pennsylvania,
if his wife is sick - I am very anxious to have
this matter settled immediately as I don't want
to run the risk of Joe's Creditors coming down on
my property, especially as I am unable to work
and as it is not likely I will be long living -
at my death whatever little property I have I will
leave for the support of my Father and Mother and
at their death I intend it will be equally divided
between you and Joe, so without further delay go
and see Joe show him this letter and fix the
matter at once by him and his wife signing the
Deed, and save me the journey to New York -
in haste I am
Your Affectionate Brother
James Buchanan
