Wm Clark
To Metcalfe Dr

1837 april 8 to $3.00

On the 12th March 1838 William Clark , William C. Carr
sold their land in Jefferson County Mo it was believed and
understood by both that their bill to the said land was complete
and that the survey thereof made under the authority of the United
States and forwarded to Washington for approval would be so app
roved in the ordinary course of business of the office, this however
not the and a patent certificate for said land was
withheld until about January of February 1844, at the time said
was made the said William C. Carr having become the purchaser
of a part of said land gave his notes therefor to the said Wm .
Clark for his half of the undivided of said land so purchased
the first fo which notes falling due within six months of said
sale amounting to the sum of four hundred, six dollars
was paid at maturity, it then appearing that some difficulty
concerning the title and survey of said land at the
office of Commissioner of lands at Washington no confirmation
of the said title and survey could be procured from said com
missioner until the time above Stated. The said Wm.C. Carr
therefore contends that he ought not to be held to pay the interest
on said notes beyond the time the same matured and called for interest.
Because the consideration for the payment of the said interest had
failed by reason of the withholding of the title at Washington
and the said land being owned jointly by the said Clark
and Carr the said Clark was jointly bound with said Carr
to perfect the title to said land before interest should be claimed
on said notes, said Carr makes no objection to paying the principle
and interest called for by said notes as also the interest accruing on
the same from the date of confirmation of the title to this date but
only objects to paying the interest which has accrued from the maturity of
said notes to the date of the confirmation of the title to said land
in January or February last as above stated.

May 16th 1812Dear Sir,

in your note of the 7th but I have to
state that I took a mortagage upon the property sold and had the same recorded
I paid Judge Ten dollars for writing
the mortgage Recorded in Lawrence
County Illinois at least I left it with the judge
for record I have not a letter
from Mr Russel administrator of
the purchaser requesting that a sale
should not be forced under the
mortgage in consequence of the difficulty
of the times The purchaser died two
days before the money became due
Mr Russel lives at in the
same county and he was seventy upon
the notes for the purchase money - You
have the note In reply to Mr
Russel . I stated that I was very
that the
early us possible and I requested him
to write me when I must come on

If I do not before I shall certainly
go or next spring to close this busines
I have received no payment on the notes
The mortgage was taken like the notes jointly
to your of other & to me It will not probably

Dear Sir

Dr Wilkinson has submitted to me a proposition of
compromise on the Ins cases against him for the balance of pur
chase money due on lots 5 and 11 the proposition is to pay eight
hundred dollars down and give his note 12 months ( secured by the
lien on property) for the balance the interest deducting the
costs of debts the situation of the matter is this - There are two
judgments each fee $ 800 te the collection of which
Wilkinson filed two bills one in this county the in Graves
The security or the bond given here is perfectly solvent The
security an Graves is of no account and of Sam Connelly infor
med has taken the benefit of the Bankrupt law Wilkinson
has nothing which can be reached by excution and the proper
ty of sold into not having enough or more than that satisfy
one of the judgments. In new of these facts I would advise you
to authorize the compromise as it will be vastly better to get
the judgment in Graves paid and hold the property subject for
the balance due there the $ 1600 interest and costs for which
it is now subject - The judgments might be kept suspended over
him, but there is the guarantee that it ever can be made except
by a sale of the property & in addition to the reasons already as-
signed the Dr is much larger claims against him
than this you can reflect upon and let me hear from you
at your earliest convenience I remain as ever
