Mr L. Gardiner Esquire
New York, June 11th 1846
Dear Sir,
We have anticipated your request of yesterday - our principal object in writing at this time however is to explain some things that may appear to you somewhat obscure, having written in very great haste- It is my impression that Mr. Lord in advising us to keep possession of the Deed thought that our mortgage covered all the property specified in said deed - Previous to Mr. L's giving such opinion our attorney Mr. Baker advised us to secure the acknowledgement of an old lady whose name appears in the deed and have it recorded, but when I informed him of Mr L. opinion he acquiesced- but I did not acquaint him as above; you are the best Judge in the premise- I gave Mr Fordham to understand that I should come down [in] persons to the sale and bring the deed and Mr L. opinion - he looks upon me as the mover in the present proceedings says he knows all that I have said H-
In saying that I have never had confidence in (our success)- I wish to be understood that I did not believe the value of the property to exceed your recent estimate- I submitted my first letter to Mr. Baker who approved of its contents- Allusion is made in my second letter to the danger of our being in possession of the property, pending proceedings as Fordham on the (ballences). It may be that my suspicions extend too far- but fire is a dangerous element especially when the value of the property consists principally in the standing timber.
When we have succeeded in this we shall be prepared to investigate some other matter in your (memory)-
That old affair of (Mat Mitchells) may come to something- We have a claim so Shepard Edmonds which might be (___) in such a shape as would enable us to realize on it immediately upon his return, as (___) informed that is the capacity of an officer informed me of your whale ships-
